About me

  • Frollein von Sofa

    That's me, Anne Schneider.

    Born as an accessories designer. At the tender age of eleven, slight tendencies to become a veterinarian or psychiatrist. (In the latter case, the sofa also plays an important role.) In my mid-twenties, the realization that I was living in the wrong era.

    Preferred time travel destination

    New York in the 1950s. There were prettier shoes, more hats, and even more accessories.

    Brief overview of my career

    • Fashion design studies in Munich
    • Lingerie designer for Palmers and Triumph, among others
    • Designer for Lulu Guinness, London
    • Lecturer for fashion design and illustration, Berlin
    • Shoe designer for Beverly Feldman, New York

    And now I've been my own boss for over 15 years:

    Frollein von Sofa

  • Lina Uhl

    That's my paternal great-grandmother.

    Can you believe that I just found out very recently that she was a milliner and even owned her own hat salon in the early 1920s?

    It's really hard to find out more about her - this photo of her is the only thing that survived the war...

    Wouldn't it be amazing to have a picture of her hat shop?

Hats and accessories

To me, accessories are the icing on the cake, the cheerfully beating heart of fashion, and the epitome of wit and originality.

I stand for the comeback of fabulous Hollywood hat fashion and extravagant headwear; for playful and eye-catching brooches, opulent jewelry, fabulous earrings, and cheerfully colorful scarves – for the combination of modern trinkets and old-fashioned elegance.

All my accessories are made with my own two hands, some brains, a bit of craziness, and quite a lot of dedication – for you, for me, and for everyone else!

Wear your dreams not only in your head but also on your head, and your heart on your lapel!
