Idea creatures emerge in January
“Januarloch” - literally “January hole”- is a Swiss phrase for low activity in business and culture in January. It has become a tradition at Tribecraft to send its customers, friends and acquaintances a greeting card in January with a playful twist relating to the “hole” topic.
This year, the card is intended to capture wondrous beings dwelling inside the “January hole”. We asked our acquaintances to reveal their creatures, and now proudly present:

Nowhere else you are as welcome as with Krusi and Pfusi. Both compete to wave and beam with joy.
