Why is our apparel brand named Zimtstern? Zimtsterne (english: cinnamon stars) are traditional christmas cookies and have their origin in Southwest Germany and Switzerland. And besides all performance, technology and sustainability aspects, we like the idea that the use of Zimtstern products is like a treat to indulge yourself with – just like the cookies. We want you guys to have good times with our product outdoors and that you can enjoy the mountains and eventually… that you look great on the trail, the deep snow slope or in a café. This is how it used to be in the early days of Zimtstern and still is nowadays.
