Scotch & Soda

At Scotch & Soda, creativity is king. It’s about the clothes and nothing but the clothes. The designers at Scotch spare no effort or expense at detailing and fine-tuning samples, all the way to the neatly finished interior of each garment. They get to take their time; Scotch & Soda has stuck with two collections a year and won’t be pressed to speed up their elaborate production rituals. Advertising is virtually non existant, “People who feel confident about themselves, don’t need logos to show the world what they’re about. All branding does really, is take away people’s individuality.” Instead, Scotch & Soda chooses to invest in the product, which is typically informed by the best tried and tested classic and vintage styles, enriched with a wealth of inspiration from around the world, and infused with the love of a true collector.

Apart from the countless multi-brand stores carrying Scotch & Soda lines all over the world, the company started opening its own stores in 2007, in order to create a few perfect environments for their complete collections in all the big fashion cities. At the start of 2011, there are 11 Scotch stores in the Netherlands, an additional 19 stores in the rest of the world, and of course, a fully up to date online presence with integrated webstore, blog and social media. Scotch & Soda is classic in many ways, but young and fast forward when it comes to bringing great clothes onto the market place.
