Our Story
Hi! I'm Taeke, and when I was 12 years old, sitting in a classroom in the Netherlands, I opened my laptop and built the very first version of what would later become Taki Amsterdam. At the time, it was just a dream, a place where I could share my love for fashion and create something of my own. I had no idea that only six years later, that same dream would grow into a brand that reaches people all around the world.
Today, at 18, I look back at that small beginning and see how far we’ve come. What started as a single website has evolved into a streetwear brand with a wide range of products, a global customer base, and over 10 million views on TikTok. Taki Amsterdam has become more than clothing, it’s a statement, a community, and proof that vision and persistence can turn childhood ideas into reality.
But building this brand has never just been about success in numbers. From the start, I wanted Taki Amsterdam to stand for something bigger. That’s why we’ve worked hard to create a company that is completely carbon-neutral. We’ve implemented systems to minimize our environmental footprint, making sure every piece we produce reflects not only creativity, but also responsibility. For me, fashion is about shaping culture, but it should never come at the cost of our planet. (more info: https://takiamsterdam.com/pages/climate-commitment)
While our roots are in the Netherlands, Taki Amsterdam now mainly sells internationally, proving that creativity knows no borders. Every order, every drop, and every customer who wears our pieces adds to the story we’re writing together.
The story of Taki Amsterdam is still being written. We’re only at the beginning, and the best chapters are yet to come.
