Having started in 2013, they admit that one of the surprising obstacles is the amount of paperwork they have to tackle for such a small company. They aren’t deterred though, their company is gaining steady momentum and an exciting new collection involving a local Luxembourg manufacturer means that fans can look forward to a 100% Luxembourg collection very soon. “Made in Luxembourg” is a label which stores and designers wear with pride. Nathalie Siebenaler created her line of scarves which were inspired by the lifestyle of those living in Luxembourg. “I make a small range of limited edition scarves which bring fantasy to those living a busy lifestyle.” Each collection that she releases is limited edition and all offer something new. As her brand evolves, so do her designs, her new collection, which was released this autumn, consists of a new square silk scarf which is double lined with silk and cashmere to get us through the chilly winters.

LOCAL FABLES Like many other designers, Sophie Dewalque, creator of Sophi(e)stication, couldn’t find what she was looking for. “I grew frustrated with recognising the same products in so many different stores, many coming from factories in Asia that weren’t necessarily prioritising quality over quantity,” she explains. Dewalque’s designs are playful and soulful children’s accessories. Taking inspiration from movies like Marie Antoinette and The Grand Budapest Hotel, her shop is more of a ‘by appointment’ showroom where parents can come with children to play, explore and discover something perfect for them. The focus stays on Luxembourg though, using characters from local fairytales and stories, her soft toys are iconic and one of a kind. Her latest accessory is a black and white textile book which is screen printed and can be coloured in for interactive reading. Inspired by the Luxembourg fable D’Maus Ketti by Auguste Liesch, she is one of the many designers who are waving their Luxembourg flags with pride.
