Müller remarked: "You don't need a university degree to start a successful business, but you need above all courage, willpower and ideas. Jacob and Emil bring along these qualities and on top of that, really good products with high recognition value." Leffers and Woermann launched their label Oak25 in 2018 when they were still at school. The start-up has gone from strength to strength ever since and has notched up steady growth. Oak25 recently moved into a new office and warehouse building in downtown Hamburg and now employs five people, the founders said.
