Neye (company)

The company was founded when Johannes Neye opened a "galantry shop" at Vimmelskaftet 28 in 1881.

The company had by then grown to seven retail locations and a leather workshop in Klosterstræde.

[2] Knud Neye died just 59 years old from cancer on 11 February 1945.

The couple had no children and she therefore chose to leave the company as well as her personal wealth to a foundation, Neye Fonden, which supports research in cancer and other deceases.

[5] Neye Since 1881 by Cecilie Toklum, a collection of bags designed by Cecilie Talkum with inspiration from historic designs from the company's archives, was launched in October 2015.
