Celebrating inclusivity and equality: Sitre and Amsterdam Pride Week
In a world where intimacy is often shrouded in taboos and stereotypes, Sitre, a Danish intimacy brand (and a recent addition to our store), emerged with a refreshing mission – to provide a more honest, inclusive, and caring approach to pleasure. Founded by Cecilie Hjelmager and Julie Herskin (pictured below), Sitre sought to challenge the norms surrounding intimacy and create products that catered to all sexualities, ages, genders, and bodies. This article explores how Sitre's ethos aligns perfectly with Amsterdam Pride Week, where the brand's commitment to diversity, visibility, and equality shines brightly.
