Faces Behind the Brand

Hi everyone! We are the faces behind The Green Gemini. We are Kim (left) and Manon (right), 27-year-old twin sisters from the Netherlands. The story behind our webshop begins in 2020, when we started our Instagram as our hobby of collecting and propagating plants escalated during COVID-19. As lots of kept asking us tips, we decided to share our knowledge throught our account. In all enthusiasm we decided to create this webshop to sell our own plant cuttings and propagation plates! Four years later, in December 2024, we decided to shift things up, and start to sell handmade upcycled clothes and accessories.

Kim has a background in Immunology and Molecular Biology. Her lifegoal is to contribute to the treatment of diseases, such as cancer or autoimmune diseases.In her free time, she loves to play hockey, sew and design her own clothes, knit, and enjoy nature. Manon has a background in Anthropology and currently works as a policy advisor in the social domain of a local municipality. In her spare time, she enjoys staying active through sports like hockey, fitness, and cycling. She also loves to listening to audiobooks, gardening, and exploring her creative side with hobbies such as drawing and knitting.

Our Brand & Logo

Our logo, created by Vizual Design, captures the essence of The Green Gemini brand. It blends the Gemini zodiac sign ♊ with the two G’s of our brand. The green colour and the leaves represent plants, as well as a greener, more sustainable lifestyle. Although this logo was designed for our products focusing on houseplants, it matches perfectly with our new products: upcycled clothes and accessories.

Sustainability

At The Green Gemini, sustainability is at the heart of everything we do. We believe in giving new life to old materials, transforming discarded fabrics into unique, upcycled clothing and accessories. By sourcing vintage curtains, blouses, and bed sheets from second-hand stores, we reduce waste and contribute to a circular fashion model. Each piece of fabric is carefully selected by ourselves, and crafted with love to create stylish, one-of-a-kind items. 

Our mission is to provide eco-friendly and fun alternatives to fast fashion! With every purchase, you’re not only embracing sustainable fashion, but also supporting a greener planet. Join us in our journey to make fashion more responsible and beautiful, one upcycled piece at a time.

Our products are carefully packaged in cardboard boxes, without using additional plastics. If possible, we ship the packages with a more sustainable postal service, like Homerr.
