A Taste of Austrian Craft, Handcrafted in California

Dallmann Confections blends European pastry heritage with modern indulgence. Founded by third-generation chocolatier Isabella Knack, the brand traces its roots to a family pastry shop in Austria established in 1954 and later brought to San Diego in 2006, where she continues the craft with a focus on premium, small-batch chocolates made with care.

Every chocolate tells a story of quality ingredients and inventive flavors. Dallmann uses fine European couverture chocolate paired with marzipan, nut butters, fruit purees and bold taste combinations like Coconut Curry, Lemon and Poppy Seeds, and Olive Oil with Yuzu and Black Pepper. They also offer vegan and gluten-free options to make luxurious chocolate more inclusive for every palate.

SAOLA Shoes: Style with a Smaller Footprint

SAOLA creates footwear that looks good, feels comfortable, and cares for the planet. The brand was founded by a leader who left a traditional job to build something more meaningful, focusing on shoes that respect people, animals, and nature. The name SAOLA comes from a rare endangered animal found in Asia, which reflects the company goal of protecting biodiversity and supporting sustainability every step of the way.

Every pair is made with thoughtful materials that reduce environmental impact. Many SAOLA shoe uppers are created from recycled plastic bottles that become rPET yarn, while other collections feature vegan leather made from grape skins and stems left over from winemaking. For comfort and durability, the midsoles often use recycled EVA, the outsoles blend natural rubber with recycled rubber, and the insoles combine recycled cork with PU foam. SAOLA also avoids harmful chemicals and continues to improve material innovation with every design.

Step into SAOLA and move through the world with comfort and a clear conscience.
