EPICE

Founded in 1999 by Danish designers Bess Nielsen and Jan Machenhauer, ÉPICE is the pioneering brand of high-end scarves for men and women. The brand's universe is infused with its sense of perfection and creativity. Each scarf is unique and designed as a work of art. Originating from Copenhagen, the two creative minds behind ÉPICE, Bess Nielsen and Jan Machenhauer, master the balance between the attractive and the functional. Their aesthetic inspiration is deeply rooted in Copenhagen's long winters and light summer nights. Paris, being the capital of fashion and culture, is nevertheless the ideal place where ÉPICE is headquartered. Now we must contrast these two places. This comes from the intense heat and abundance of India. Here, most ÉPICE products are manufactured. Close collaboration with the most skilled weavers with ancestral practices and know-how. The singularity of ÉPICE arises from the fusion of these three different approaches to design, demonstrating the desire to find a balance between modernity and antiquity. After careful consideration of the choice of scarf size, thread, color, and combination of original patterns, the pieces are woven and printed manually in workshops in India. The rigorous selection of high-quality fabrics and exclusively natural fibers enhances the richness of the colours made in Denmark. ÉPICE offers a Nordic vision of color as long as it is vibrant, punctuated by a myriad of prints. The tones that characterize ÉPICE are the exact reflection of these shades close to the washes so typical of Scandinavia. Shades of subtle brilliance that we find both in the works of Northern artists such as Michael Peter Ancher and Vihelm Hammershøi, and in the streets of a city like Copenhagen where people favor colour in their way of dressing as a sign of balance and energy. After 20 years of existence, ÉPICE represents a perfect example of how to approach the world with enthusiasm and curiosity. The brand's accessories are not mere additions. They are the infrastructural elements that enhance a complete outfit and add that touch of singularity so particular to ÉPICE.
