We’ve been attending Renaissance fairs for quite a while, so we are well connected with our friends in the scene, whose creativity and skill we cherish. Under the brand Burgschneider Makers we work together with popular players, designers, and craftsmen from within the reenactment scene, LARPing, and Cosplay, giving them the opportunity to present their ideas to a wider audience while allowing us to offer you a growing assortment of stylish garments. The Makers products are carefully and skillfully designed by our associates and will be manufactured with the uncompromising Burgschneider quality.

The Burgschneider Makers

We are delighted to have found three top-notch partners to kick off Burgschneider Makers:

Lena Krause alias “MissViscid Designs“

”My designs often combine elements from different epochs and regions with free elements to result in unique and imaginative creations. My main goal here is to create designs that look like an actual person’s garments—not a costume.”—Lena Krause<(p> Since 2009 Lena is actively creating custom-made clothing and richly detailed, limited-run series. In 2017 some of her basic designs were released as a part of the Burgschneider Makers Program.

Beete Paul alias “Butterfly Garden”

“I enjoy being enchanted, and I love all things primal and unusual, such as enticing colors and long-forgotten cultures. During the design process, my impressions mature to become unique and free-spirited creations that achieve their fullest expression through materials, unique cuts, and manufacturing”.— Beete Paul.

“Dark Dirndl”

“For over a decade, Dark Dirndl Arts & Crafts has been tailoring unique, custom-made historical fashion—true to detail, authentic, and well researched, all the way from the first pattern drafts to the final stitch. We work at the highest level of proficiency for museums, theaters, artists, and private customers. For Burgschneider Makers, we are designing an entire historical collection—always adhering to the highest standards of authenticity regarding pattern, material, color, and comfort. A truly intriguing cooperative venture!”—Nichole Firderdorf, Ph.D., CEO DarkDirndl Arts & Crafts
