About SOBEK

SOBEK was founded in 2022 by Sophie Strøbek, a Danish designer with a degree in textile design, handicraft, and communication. She has completed internships at fashion designer Cecilie Bahnsen, bespoke tailor Hanne Kohlmets, and artist Nikoline Liv Andersen.

In her final year as a student, Sophie started a small production of unique upcycled wool vests from her home in Copenhagen. Her goal was to create versatile, sustainable garments that are at the absolute top level regarding quality, craftsmanship, and design. Even though the garments were only available via Instagram and a select number of design markets, Sophie’s unique take on upcycling quickly gained interest.

By creating bespoke garments out of vintage textiles, where each item tells a story of something else and more than just the latest trend, Sophie hopes to redefine the way we think about fashion. Where our wardrobe is not ever-changing but a persistent testament to a more sustainable way of life.
