She’s adventurous, creative and a traveller at heart. Most of the collections she creates on her many journeys to exotic and hidden places in the East, as she strives to find small artisans to help bring her collections to life. Meet Birgitte Raben Olrik – the woman behind Rabens Saloner.“I love the creative process. I started travelling in Asia, met a lot of artisans and started buying different things. I sold them from the back of my car – I knew a lot of buyers as I’ve been involved in the fashion industry for years, and then it just slowly evolved to where it is today,” Birgitte Raben Olrik explains.At the core of the brand is the important feeling that everything has to come from her heart. Raben Olrik is creating her own aesthetic, her own DNA.“I like women that dress for themselves and create their own identity. Personality is important, but you have to dress accordingly. I design for women like that – women with a strong sense of personality. And I want you to feel good in my clothes.”
