Ilse Jacobsen - Scandinavian Simplicity For Everyday Life

At Foss & Kruger, we stock things that last, in quality, style and practicality. Ilse Jacobsen clothes are designed in Denmark, but it fits right into life here, especially when the weather can’t make up its mind.

Some things just earn their place. The shoes you reach for every day. A coat that’s been through more than a few downpours. Boots that feel like they’ve always been yours. No big deal, just solid, well-made favourites. No fuss. No flash. Just everyday staples that get on with it.
