Founded in 1999 by Danish designers Bess Nielsen and Jan Machenhauer, Épice is a brand known for high-quality stoles, handbags, and tote bags. The brand combines Nordic design with Indian craftsmanship, using hand-woven and printed fabrics made from natural fibres. Épice collaborates with skilled artisans in India, particularly in West Bengal and Punjab, to create pieces with rich colours developed in Denmark. The brand values fair pricing and considers its artisans as partners, rejecting low-cost production in favour of quality and sustainability.
