Established in 2014 by childhood friends Cathrine Saks and Barbara Potts.[1], Saks Potts is a scandinavian fashion brand drawing inspiration from the Copenhagen lifestyle and a diverse global community. The brand was established by Cathrine & Barbara in 2014 due to a shared search for a distinctive, vibrant winter coat, prompting the release of the Foxy Coat.

Saks Potts has since evolved to prioritize heritage craftsmanship, utilizing premium materials such as Harris Tweed wool, Thomas Mason cotton poplin, and certified leathers. The brand collaborates with premium manufacturers to produce high quality garments using ethical production practices. Saks Potts collections are generally presented during Copenhagen Fashion Week.[2]

The brand has gained notoriety due to its diverse customer base ranging from royalty to celebrities by the likes of Beyoncé, Lady Gaga, and Rihanna[3]. While appealing to a unisex market, Saks Potts predominantly produces womenswear.

Saks Potts has earned multiple Elle Style awards[4], been featured on Forbes 30 Under 30. [5] Notably, the brand has been awarded the Wessel & Vett Fashion Prize in November 2023[6]

Saks Potts offers its products through various global retailers, including establishments like Nordstrom and Selfridges. Additionally, the brand operates one physical store located at Bredgade 73, occupying the apothecary formerly associated with the Royal Danish Academy of Surgery.
