The Björkvin Story
 
It all began during the CPH Vision tradeshow in the spring of 2005. Two handsome young guys were wandering down the aisles of the CPH Vision in search of new brands to cooperate with for their newly founded distributing company.
 
Hours later Rolf and Tue hadn’t found anything remotely inspiring and disappointed they went across the street to Carlton’s to have dinner and discuss what brands to focus on for the oncoming season.
 
Several excellent drinks later the guys felt no limits to what they could accomplish; why didn’t they just start their own label instead of distributing brands that just looked like every other brand? This approach would give them an opportunity to design a clothing line exactly as they wanted:  Every style had to be a special item and the look has to be fashionable but with a twist of humour.
 
Finding the perfect brand name was crucial. The guys decided to look within their own names and Björkvin being Rolf’s middle name was perfect for the purpose. It had the ideal sound and the right Scandinavian touch they were looking for.
 
To celebrate the start of an era the guys ordered another round of drinks from the bar.  From here on the story becomes somewhat blurred and no one really remembers what happened next, except that some time later a full sample line with sheep printed all over was hanging at the office in Copenhagen...
 
The first international contacts were established from a hotel room during the Bread & Butter tradeshow in Barcelona in January 2006. Italy and The Netherlands came to be the first countries to join the Björkvin family as they were presented to the samples in Barcelona.
 
The following month Rolf and Tue exhibited at the CPH Vision in February 2006 and here Japan and Sweden were welcomed to the family.
 
The tradeshow exceeded all expectations and orders were placed by selected shops throughout Denmark.
 
What the future holds is uncertain, but you can be sure you will be surprised every time you encounter a new Björkvin collection. Innovation continues to be the key. – Along with excellent cocktails of course... Welcome to Björkvin land!
