Skagerrak

Our Skagerrak lines are comprised of high quality products we’ve found through extensive research. We believe they provide our clients with access to quality merchandise not normally found at their local retail stores or online outlets.

The Skagerrak strait, the namesake for our line, runs between Norway and the southwest coast of Sweden and the Jutland peninsula of Denmark, connecting the North Sea and the Kattegat strait, which leads to the Baltic Sea.

The names for both Skagerrak and Kattegat are of Dutch origin. Skagerrak is derived from the Dutch word for Skagen, the northernmost tip of Jutland. The syllable "rak" means a straight waterway.

Anyone who has visited Skagen, the Northern most town in Denmark, has likely made the trek to the very tip of Skagen where the Skagerrak and Kattegat waters meet. Our family has visited there many times and our kids have enjoyed the boat trips from the Kattegat Aquarium in Grenaa to help with marine research.

Skagerrak has a special meaning to us as a family. It also touches the shores of Denmark, Norway and Sweden signifying the Scandinavian ethos of quality, design and function with a focus on simplicity.
