Inspired by Hornbæk’s Coastal Beauty
Ilse Jacobsen Hornbæk was born in the seaside town of Hornbæk, nestled in Northern Zealand, Denmark. Surrounded by nature’s rhythm and the simplicity of coastal living, Ilse envisioned fashion that embraced both beauty and function. Her legacy lives on in timeless designs crafted for walking through life in comfort and style.
Iconic Footwear and Effortless Rainwear
What began with a pair of iconic rubber boots soon expanded into a full range of thoughtfully made rainwear, shoes, and accessories, designed for every occasion, of course. From flip flops to Tulip shoes, each piece is designed to support the natural movement of your feet, whether you're strolling through the city or exploring the outdoors. Lightweight and breathable, these styles blend Scandinavian practicality with refined design.
Scandinavian Wellness and Style
More than a clothing brand, Ilse Jacobsen introduced an exclusive beauty series inspired by the concept of hygge—celebrating calm, balance, and the quiet joy of daily rituals. Minimalist and natural, these products honour her holistic approach to well-being.
A Legacy That Lives On
Though Ilse passed in 2022, her creative spirit endures. Today, the brand continues to design with purpose—using sustainable materials and supporting slow fashion principles. From summer-ready dresses to everyday layers, in our stock is made to last.
