About Beate
Why crochet?
My mother loved crocheting. She taught me how to do it as a child and so I started to crochet small dresses and accessories from scraps of wool very early on. My doll and my teddy bear were my first, of course, grateful customers and my crocheted works were admired by other doll moms.
As a teenager with little pocket money, I began designing bags for myself and making them as crochet pieces. Mathematics studies, my job in IT and my family left little time for this beautiful, creative work in the years that followed. But I have never lost my passion for colours, shapes, patterns and design.
In spring 2022, I decided to start my own business producing high-quality, crocheted bags regionally and market them internationally.
Why BEAKS LONGGROVE?
The brand name is derived from my initials BEAKS, but it also symbolizes something else. What do beaks have to do with crocheting? The chain stitch and the single crochet, two of the four basic stitches of crochet resemble a bird’s beak.
LONGGROVE stands for Langenhain, the place where I have lived for a long time, where I feel very comfortable and where production takes place.
