Louise L, the Swedish designer’s career took off when she was rewarded by Her Majesty the Queen of Sweden for winning a national drawing competition at 12 years of age. Her education in Graphic and Textile design led to a successful career as an awarded Art Director in the Advertising sector, both in Sweden and abroad. Originally based on the cosmopolitan Greek island of Mykonos, Solamigos was created together with her theatrical actor husband and their two children as an ambitious family project to “shoot for the moon”. The first collection was launched in spring 2011. One-‐and-‐a-‐half year and a second collection later, they have not reached the moon -‐ yet -‐ but in record time Solamigos has gained representatives in fifteen countries and on four different continents. Today Solamigos’ headquarter is on the Mediterranean island Mallorca, with distributors worldwide.
Most of Solamigos’ garments are designed to be unisex -‐ suitable for both genders. They are easy to mix and match. Sizes are available from 0-‐12 years of age.
The vibe of Solamigos will always be Happy, Fun, Smart, Simple & Cool. To view the new collection Solamigos SS2013, please contact us by e-mail at info@rhubarbrepublik.com
