A pleasant time with Vild Is

A pleasant time with Vild Is

We are Pleasant, and we are on a mission to produce clothing in the most responsible way according to our beliefs. We have relocated our office to the landscape of Thy, embraced by nature's inspiration and a new work-life balance. After running a conventional clothing business for 15 years, it's time to soar higher and redefine our core business and work-life balance. In our new series "A pleasant time with" we will meet people, seeking inspiration from their professional and personal lives.

In the first episode, we met up with the best ice cream makers from Vild Is for an inspiring encounter.

Hey Vild Is, who are you? and what do you do for a living?

We are Rasmus and Alexander, soda pop pushers from Thy. Vild Is is our take on delicious soda pop made with organic ingredients, simple and transparent recipes and a belief in a slightly wilder world. We hand-make our own ice cream and primarily use our own organic berries from Sønderhå in Thy.

Why did you start Wild Ice ?

Vild Is is the result of a desire to work with green transition with a focus on local organic ingredients in Thy. It happened to be soda pop ice cream because we love soda pop ice cream and because we thought it was funny.

Do you often think about nature and climate? Both in your private and working life?

Our private interests and values ​​are certainly reflected in Vild Is. As I said, we had a desire to work with and contribute to the green transition, due to the enormous challenges we collectively face. Vild Is is therefore our proposal for a sustainable way of working with food, with a focus on local and organic agriculture.

As a consumer, do you think about what you buy and throw away, and how much?

Yes, to a certain extent. We consume far too much in our society, and especially in our part of the world! We thought we should consume less, but better. That is also the idea behind Vild Is. The price of (Danish) organic ice cream is a little higher, but then maybe eat a little less ice cream, but better ice cream (yes, our ice cream is just better than other good soda ice cream!)

Now we live in Thy, which is relatively chill. What does your work/life balance look like?

We came to Thy mainly because of surfing, but also the wild and diverse nature. We both come from Copenhagen and were/are actually happy with the big city, but discovered that values ​​such as tranquility, access to nature and the sea, smaller communities, active lifestyle (in nature) began to fill more and more. Thy has a good history of organic farming, which we have tapped into, but the fact that we happen to make soda pop (and now also soda) in Thy is really "just" about us thinking it's nice here!

Now you've got some Pleasant clothes on, but otherwise, do you think about your clothing consumption, and also where the clothes come from and are produced?

We don't buy clothes much. Most of our clothes are older, passed down from friends and family, bought at the thrift store or from brands like Pleasant (we can't pretend we don't know you, because we do, and i/Pleasant is our favorite brand!!)

If you had to give a piece of good advice, what do you think is the most important thing we as individuals can change in our everyday lives to help the climate on the right track?

Understand how bad things are and do something about it! As an individual, you don't have to do everything, or rearrange your entire life. Get some good, healthy and green habits and contribute to the climate issue with what you can. If we all make an effort, we will probably face a brighter (and greener) future! <3
