Based in Amsterdam, COTTONCAKE is a concept store unlike any other. The boutique was launched by Tessa Herwijnen and Jorinde Westhoff who wanted to create products that made women fall in love with them instantly.
The store designs beautiful apparel using the softest, most luxurious fabrics. Moreover, they design minimalist, delicate jewellery for the modern woman along with footwear essentials, and more. Inspired by travelling, the owners add a minimalist yet sophisticated twist to their every design.
Their Amsterdam boutique doubles up as a café where you can enjoy a lovely cappuccino while exploring their contemporary silhouettes. They invite everyone to join this cosy corner, where you can not only explore clothes but also enjoy a “superfood smoothie”.
"It only takes one-fifth of a second to fall in love. And when you do, you know."

The History of COTTONCAKE
Set up in 2012, Tessa Herwijnen and Jorinde Westhoff combined their passionate love for design and travel experiences to launch the brand. After finishing her studies, Tessa took on a job that did not satisfy her inner creativity. So, she made a business plan and joined forces with her friend Jorinde.
Meanwhile, Jorinde had fallen in love with Australian gastronomy and developed a passion for food. Therefore, the founders decided to concept their little boutique into a café as well for customers who wanted to recharge after a shopping trip.
Today, COTTONCAKE is an impressive concept store that also is known for its warm energy, love and great coffee.
