STRØM

The unexpected ways of life carry plenty of surprises. STRØM’s history of existence is based on one of those chance encounters. Allow us to take you back to the memorable Spring of 2017… It was during an Antwerp-based warm, cozy birthday party (with exquisite hotdogs being served) that Nico, Charly, Simon and Kristof started talking about a new clothing brand based upon the combination of high quality textile and recognizable, minimal icon designs. The further elaboration of the brand/concept was far from what you could call a walk in the (Stads)park. But eventually the snail reached the ark on river Schelde… while bringing with him the inspiration to baptize the brand with the name STRØM; a wink to both Antwerp, the “Stad aan de Stroom” and Scandinavian minimalism.

Therefore, choosing and working with a manufacturer that respects both environmental and labor standards in the strictest way is of continuous utmost importance for us.
