A family business

25 years ago, the dream of what would turn out to be our true passion and calling began.

It all started when the company's founder Susanne, had just given birth to her first daughter Victoria Vanilla. After making do with the small selection of colors and quality with her first three children, she decided to create a more colorful and child-centric selection for her last child.

So Susanne started sewing children's textile products together with her friend Susanne Rasmussen - This was the starting point for the adventure.

They sewed duvet covers, pillowcases, bedspreads and much more. The children loved it and so did their friends. So they sewed even more – They sewed day and night and soon they had to expand.

Since the beginning, Vanilla Copenhagen has been part of the Mikkelsen family and about 22 years later, one generation became two in the company. Mark Mikkelsen, Susanne's second child, started working for the company, and today they work side by side to run the family business.
