Holzweiler

Founded
2012
Founder
Susanne Holzweiler, Andreas Holzweiler
Holzweiler was founded in 2012 in Oslo by siblings Susanne Holzweiler and Andreas Holzweiler (joined later by his wife Maria Skappel Holzweiler) as a small Norwegian accessories brand built around hand-screen-printed silk-and-modal scarves. The brand's foundational thesis was specific: produce the kind of contemporary-art-anchored printed scarf that was difficult to find in the Scandinavian market — saturated abstract-art prints applied to high-quality silk and modal bases, at a €150-€300 price tier. The Holzweiler vocabulary expanded through the mid-2010s into a complete contemporary ready-to-wear menswear-and-womenswear collection: knitwear in deliberately oversized cuts, technical-fabric outerwear, hand-printed silk-and-modal scarves and accessories remained the brand's signature category, and a colour palette anchored to saturated primaries, soft pastels, and the brand's recurring use of contemporary-painting-inspired abstract motifs. The brand presents at Oslo Runway and Copenhagen Fashion Week. The brand is independent and family-controlled by the Holzweiler siblings plus several Norwegian venture investors. Holzweiler operates flagship retail in Oslo (Bogstadveien, Aker Brygge, the Holzweiler Concept Store at Skovveien), Stockholm, Copenhagen, plus a substantial e-commerce platform serving Scandinavia, Europe, and North America. International wholesale runs through Mytheresa, SSENSE, MR PORTER, MATCHES, and a curated set of European and Asian luxury department stores. The brand has been one of the most quietly successful Norwegian-anchored contemporary ready-to-wear brands of the post-2010 generation.
