“We are a team – in music, in everyday life and now also at NIKIN.”
Gian Andri and Mauro ( @giam_music ), both 27 years old, have known each other since their school days in the Engadine and have since embarked on numerous collaborative projects. Their friendship, which began during their school days, was further strengthened by their studies in Bern and their music project "GiaM" – formerly known as "Music on Mondays."
"We do everything together—we even communicate almost exclusively via WhatsApp groups," they joke. Fun fact: The two are active in over 100 shared chats.
For Gian Andri and Mauro, sustainability means making conscious choices—whether it's when buying clothes or eating meat. "With NIKIN clothing, we can live our values in everyday life. And through the Graubünden High-Altitude Hunt, Gian Andri ensures our annual meat needs, which significantly reduces our shopping at supermarkets," explains Mauro. Their focus is on using regional resources and living in harmony with nature as much as possible.
The TreeFleece Teddy Jacket reminds us of grandma's fleece – only much cozier!
Their favorite NIKIN piece? The TreeFleece Teddy Jacket is definitely the one. "It's warm, soft, and evokes a bit of nostalgia—but without the scratchy fabric of the past," they say with a wink. For Gian Andri and Mauro, fashion must not only be practical, but also sustainable and authentic—and that's exactly what they find at NIKIN.
Why NIKIN is a perfect fit for you
"As mountain people, we can fully identify with NIKIN's values," the two explain. The ambassador role at NIKIN is a new and exciting experience for them, and one they are looking forward to. "It's our first official ambassadorship, and we're thrilled to share the brand's sustainable values with others."
“If you ’re looking for us, it’s best to ask both of us – we’re usually together anyway.”
Gian Andri and Mauro are connected not only by music and their shared apartment, but also by their hobbies and passion for nature. "Even on vacation, we're rarely apart. So if you can't reach one of us, just try the other," they laugh. Their bond isn't just friendship, but a true partnership in everything they do.
Gian Andri Janett and Mauro Caflisch demonstrate how friendship, sustainability, and connection to nature can go hand in hand. With their open nature and enthusiasm for NIKIN's values, they are great ambassadors who inspire others. Together with them, we are committed to a more sustainable world – tree by tree, #treebytree.
