Her innovative designs and commitment to sustainability have caught the attention of industry leaders and fashion enthusiasts alike.

2017: a life changing decision

In 2017, Camilla Wellton made a bold and personal decision to put her fashion brand on hold. As a successful designer who had worked tirelessly to establish herself in the industry, Camilla realized that she had been living at a workaholic tempo that left no room for social development and personal growth.

She came to the realization that years had gone by without the opportunity to enjoy the simple pleasures of life, such as play, fun, and spending time with friends while dancing.

Despite the success of her brand, Camilla felt that there was a part of her life that was missing.

To rectify this, Camilla made the decision to take time off from her fashion brand to focus on her personal life. She spent quality time with her friends, loved ones and went to Amazing parties many of which in Berlin.

Camilla’s hiatus from the fashion industry allowed her to rediscover herself and the things that were most important to her.

A focus on sensuality and body posivity

During this time she became inspired and encouraged by the underground techno and kink community in Stockholm to develop a new brand that focused on sensuality and body positivity.

This led to the creation in 2018 of We Got Cookies, a sensual accessories brand that encourages individuals to develop a deep sensuous connection with their bodies and others.

Like the Camilla Wellton brand, We Got Cookies is built on a foundation of integrity, individuality, and self-respect. The brand encourages individuals to explore what it means to be a sensuous being, a sensual being, what mindset it requires and to will soon launch a space where everyone can explore their desires in a safe and respectful environment.

We Got Cookies is dedicated to creating high-quality accessories that are both beautiful and functional. Each piece is designed to enhance the wearer’s experience and to inspire confidence and self-expression.

At We Got Cookies, we believe that everyone should feel empowered to explore their sexuality and to develop a deep connection with their bodies and others.

Exploring other talents

In addition to developing We Got Cookies, Camilla Wellton also took the opportunity during her hiatus to explore other talents.

She discovered a passion for music production under the alter ego Gyndroid, creating music that has been featured in two feature films and several commercials.

Camilla also explored her talent for graphic design, creating business strategies and graphic profiles for several brands.

Camilla’s exploration of these new talents has enriched her life and added depth to her creative output. Her passion for music production and graphic design is evident in the unique and innovative designs that she creates under the brand ” I love my work”.

At Camilla Wellton, we believe that life is about more than just work, and that it is essential to explore new talents and passions in order to grow and develop as individuals.
