love of tracht
Schnucki began in 2012 when a German mother and her Australian-based daughter noticed the lack of authentic German clothing at Oktoberfest Brisbane. They combined their love for German culture and fashion to create Schnucki, launching their first line in 2013. The demand was immediate, sparking a thriving business.
