We're Jacob and Johanna Spansk; a married design duo with extensive international experience in the fashion industry and we're specialized in designing bags, shoes and accessories. We've worked with many renowned brands during our 10+ years in the business, mainly from our home in Stockholm, Sweden and also from our second home, Bangkok, Thailand.
Our journey in the fashion industry started in Bangkok when we moved there 2007 and studied fashion design. We spent 4 years learning and developed our skills and then moved back to Sweden where we started working. Since then we've worked with brands such as Whyred, Sandqvist, Polarn O. Pyret and H&M.
Our latest, and longest, lasting employment was at Sandqvist where we were solely responsible for bringing 4 collections to life each year and several collaborations with clients such as Volvo, Polaroid and Morakniv. We spent 6 years at Sandqvist and watched the company grow each year and took great pride in helping the brand reach next level in terms of design expression, sales and growth.
We started our business 1,5 years ago and have been fortunate to work with amazing clients all over the world. We have travelled to Spain, India, Hong Kong, Thailand, Vietnam, China and Sweden during this time and meet up with amazing people and made a couple of new friends.
Our design ethos is simple: design the best product possible and give them the best chance of commercial success. We design to sell products and for the user to enjoy them. A badly designed product is a wasted chance to improve upon the world and we take our job seriously and work with a sense of joy and purpose. We also believe the process is team driven and there's always an opportunity to learn and develop your skills working with new people.
