Oh I love this Andreas--these are the kinds of brands I really adore. A few new & old(er) school lower case b brands that I feel like you might dig (or maybe, push back on):
** Dr. Bronner's--the manifesto label *will* stand the test of time, and keeps drawing new generations of believers into their company.
** Paul Smith -- modern, tailored quirk in retail, right?!
** Ripton Denim--i love this CO-based denim brand, that steeps itself in bike culture. they lean into cheek (the denim word play is outta control but kinda killer too)
Happy to connect you to Gautier, the passionate coffee and magazine geek behind News & Coffee. DM me, and I'll furnish you the details if you'd like.
As for your suggestions, agree! I don't know Ripton. I'm going to dig into them now, but Paul Smith benefits from a charming, idiosyncratic and ever-curious founder. Check out photos of his office and you get a sense of how he's able to keep his brand relevant and current.
Dr. Bronner's! Wow. Yes, of course. Whatever happens in the world, they stay Crunchy.

"We stay crunchy" should be a line they use.
