What to know about Filippa K

Wrote the Scandi minimalism playbook

Founded in Stockholm in 1993, Filippa K is credited with codifying Scandinavian minimalism: muted palette, wool coats, fluid trousers, ribbed knits and jersey basics.

Knitwear and shirting carry the range

The label is best known for its knitwear and shirts, with tailoring and leather accessories built around the same restrained staples rather than seasonal statements.

Resale is part of the business

A Preowned resale platform launched in 2021 sits alongside the main line; Liisa Kessler has led design since 2022, and OJ Holding Sweden bought the company in April 2025.

How Filippa K fits

Overall fit

slightly small

Shoppers generally report Filippa K running slim and slightly small versus US/UK sizing, with a neat, minimal silhouette that flatters lean frames but can feel tight across the shoulders and chest for athletic builds.

Tip: If you're between sizes or broader through the chest and shoulders, take the next size up — most fits are cut lean.
