Ilse Jacobsen passed away in 2022 after a courageous battle with cancer, yet her spirit continues to shape the soul of Ilse Jacobsen Hornbæk. 

She left an indelible mark on our seaside hometown—raising Hornbæk’s profile and inspiring a sense of community and sustainability that lives on through our collections. 

We pay tribute to her legacy by supporting the charitable and eco-friendly initiatives Ilse cared about. Staying true to her belief that fashion can be both functional and beautiful.

Ilse’s passion and vision still guide our team every day, reminding us to create styles that not only look good and are functional, but also foster a true connection to nature and a belonging to each other.
