WHO ARE WE?

Our story, brand, and vision

Samsøe Samsøe dates back to 1993, when a small jewellery shop opened in Copenhagen’s Latin Quarter. The label soon expanded to include premium T-shirts and knitwear, primarily for men. In 2000, the current owners took over the brand, transforming it into an international fashion house focusing on contemporary clothes, footwear and accessories for men and women.

With a nod to its Scandinavian heritage, Samsøe Samsøe is defined by a wearable aesthetic that combines the utilitarian ease of Copenhagen street style with a quintessentially Scandinavian spirit. Collections transcend trends, drawing on Denmark’s renowned design tradition to result in minimalist, affordable and accessible fashion.
