SAKS POTTS IS A COPENHAGEN-BASED BRAND LAUNCHED IN 2014 BY CATHRINE SAKS
AND BARBARA POTTS.

CATHRINE AND BARBARA WERE BOTH BORN IN 1993. GROWING UP IN COPENHAGEN
TOGETHER INSPIRED AND ESTABLISHED THE IMPORTANCE OF THE COPENHAGEN ROOTS
AND LIFESTYLE FOR SAKS POTTS.

COPENHAGEN IS FAMOUS FOR ITS UNIQUE CULTURE LIFE, DESIGN AND FOOD SCENE WHICH
IS AN ENORMOUS SOURCE OF INSPIRATION FOR THE DESIGNERS. BARBARA, CATHRINE AND
THE WHOLE TEAM LIVE AND WORK IN DIFFERENT AREAS OF COPENHAGEN AND SHARE AN
EQUAL LOVE TO THE CITY. COPENHAGEN IS THE SETTING AND THE SCENE FOR MOST
THINGS RELATED TO THE BRAND, AND BARBARA AND CATHRINE FIND A LOT OF INSPIRATION
IN THEIR DAILY LIFE IN THE DANISH CAPITAL CITY.

FIRST AND FOREMOST, SAKS POTTS IS A PERSONAL REFLECTION OF BARBARA AND
CATHRINE’S LIFE. WHILE MOST OF THE INSPIRATION TRANSPIRED FROM CATHRINE AND
BARBARA'S NATURAL ENVIRONMENT IN DENMARK, THE LATE CAROLYNE BESSETTE-KENNEDY
IS AN ULTIMATE MUSE FOR THE SAKS POTTS WOMAN. THE CHIC 90’S MINIMALISM AND
MODERNISM INSPIRED THE FOUNDERS TO CREATE GARMENTS THAT FIT INTO A MODERN
WOMEN'S LIFESTYLE.

BARBARA & CATHRINE ALSO SPEND A LOT OF TIME ON THE COUNTRYSIDE OF DENMARK,
ESPECIALLY UP NORTH IN BARBARA’S FAMILY HOLIDAY HOME, ALSO CALLED A
SUMMERHOUSE IN DANISH. BEING IN THE DANISH NATURE, BREATHING IN THE FRESH AIR
FROM WALKS IN THE FOREST OR BY THE SEA, THEY REWIND AND GET INSPIRATION FOR NEW
IDEAS FOR THE COLLECTION WHICH MIGHT GIVE IT A PRACTICAL TOUCH.
WITH CATHRINE’S DEGREE IN FASHION DESIGN AND TAILORING AND BARBARA’S BA IN ART
HISTORY FROM THE UNIVERSITY OF COPENHAGEN, THEY PERFECTLY COMPLEMENT EACH
OTHER. THEIR PARTNERSHIP IS THE RIGHT BLEND OF TECHNICAL EXPERTISE AND ARTISTIC
UNDERSTANDING. THEIR DESIGNS ARE FOCUSED ON CREATING SOPHISTICATED AND LONG-
LASTING COLLECTIONS THAT COMPLIMENT AND EMPOWER WOMEN ALL AROUND THE
WORLD.
