Founded in 2022 by Madeline Shields, SOMMER is based in Berkeley, CA. Referencing Madeline’s Scandinavian heritage, the name SOMMER translates to summer in Norwegian. With seasonal sourcing trips to Norway and other countries during the summer months, SOMMER's collection is an ever-evolving exploration of craftsmanship from around the world.
