SUNLIGHT AROUND YOUR NECK

For our current collaboration, Berlin-based jewelry designer Sabrina Dehoff took our label’s name and message to create a delicately designed strictly limited necklace for IWISHUSUN. Two pendants pay tribute to sunlight – on the filigree high quality gold-plated necklace a Swarovski crystal shimmers, underlaid with a warm whisky tone, along with a gold-plated sun pendant, beautifully illustrating the meaning of IWISHUSUN. With every necklace sold the battle against blindness continues, with 100% of the profits going to charity.

Thanks to the painstakingly hand-painted underlay of the setting, each Swarovski crystal shines in different nuances, and is thus unique. Every necklace is not just a one-off but also a shimmering token of commitment to our fellow humans, because with every Sabrina Dehoff x IWISHUSUN necklace sold, together with the non-profit organisation ORBIS International, an eye operation to remove cataracts is financed.

In this place we would like to express our heartfelt thanks to Sabrina Dehoff who has contributed 100% of her profits to the charity, enabling even more eye operations! Moreover, we are very happy to welcome her as a friend and supporter. You can read the entire interview here.

Classic and at the same time exuding the characteristic Sabrina Dehoff style, the charity necklace is the ideal present for Christmas – warm sunlight in the midst of the grey winter weather. As of now the limited edition necklace is available exclusively for 89 euros from our online shop.

About Sabrina Dehoff: Jewelry is so much more than mere decoration to Sabrina Dehoff and her eponymous label. She studied at the famous Royal College of Arts (RCA) in London and in 2006 she founded her label in Berlin. Her filigree works of art combine different materials and redefine feminine jewelry design, with classical elements combined with striking colours and playful details.

We wish you sun – with all the benefits but without the risks involved in exposing yourself to its dangers unprotected. With our second product, Susanne Kaufmann suncream, the result of our first collaboration, we’re not just thinking in terms of our name, but also your protection. If and when the sun decides to show its face, you’ll be protected. And, for every suncream supplied to IWISHUSUN by Susanne Kaufmann, which we sell online, one pair of glasses will be donated to a schoolchild in Bangladesh as part of the National Childhood Blindness Project (NCBP).

The suncream, which is a new addition to Susanne Kaufmann’s range, stands out from similar products because of its innovative sun protection system: the soothing dermatologically tested suncream is waterproof with an SPF 25 as well as UVA/UVB protection in compliance with EU guidelines, and it also regenerates and repairs UV-damaged skin cells with plant-based active ingredients Ectoine und Pentavitin. The cream provides your skin with intensive moisturising care and is suitable for all skin types, including children and those with sensitive skin.

Like all the products from the Susanne Kaufmann range, the suncream contains plant-based active ingredients from wild harvesting as well as organic ingredients, and doesn’t contain chemical preservatives, colourings or aromatic compounds. The products are made up of fewer ingredients, which enhance and complement each other. Precious locally sourced oils, herbal extracts and floral essences are used as a medium instead of conventional petroleum-based products. The products are carefully processed in small batches, and then bottled in glass jars and bottles and labelled by hand.

With every product sold online, IWISHUSUN funds a pair of glasses for a schoolchild in Bangladesh, as part of the National Childhood Blindness Project (NCBP) with ORBIS.

ORBIS launched the fight against childhood blindness in Bangladesh on 1 April 2013 with its National Childhood Blindness Project (NCBP). A service network is planned which will include a total of 10 children’s healthcare centres in the country, to be in place by 2018. This will ensure access to relevant prevention measures and medical care for the largest possible number of children. Every purchase of a Susanne Kaufmann suncream means we are one step closer towards the realisation of this project, which we hope will transform from dream to tangible reality within the next five years.
