Scotch & Soda is one of the most successful Dutch designer labels that are operating successfully worldwide. Led by the current owners, the young Amsterdam brand has grown within ten years into a thriving business.
Scotch & Soda now has 7,000 selling outlets in 26 countries, 30 Scotch & Soda stores, including 11 in the Netherlands and an entire online presence including web shop. Besides the familiar Scotch & Soda Men's line, there is also the very popular Shrunk boys' line, the women's collection Maison Scotch, the Scotch R'Belle line for girls and a brand new denim line called Amsterdam Blauw.
Scotch & Soda is in many ways an unorthodox business where everything revolves around creation, its focus is on the love of design and product quality. A non-hierarchical organizational structure has developed around it; in the design centers that are situated on the Amsterdam canals the same autonomous, passionate atmosphere reigns as in the financial and logistics center in Hoofddorp and in all Scotch stores. Scotch stands for freedom, creativity, responsibility, individuality, courage and intuition. The Scotch & Soda DNA is typical Amsterdam: focused on the world from where it takes its inspiration and where its market lays.
