From your submissions, a campaign emerged that shows what FALKE truly stands for: quality that connects – across generations. Thank you for being part of our journey.

OUR FALKE FAMILIES

130 Years of FALKE – From Generation to Generation

Since 1895, FALKE has stood for quality, craftsmanship, and innovation – values passed on from generation to generation. Now in its fourth generation of family ownership, we remain dedicated to creating products that endure for decades. Our anniversary campaign “From Generation to Generation” celebrates precisely this: the union of tradition and progress, craftsmanship and technology, heritage and the future.

130 years represent more than a company anniversary – they tell a story of values, integrity, continuity, and trust.

From generations for generations: it is the story of families who wear FALKE – and of people who share our journey. Looking ahead, our values remain the foundation of everything we do. Trends come and go. Quality endures.

130 YEARS LIMITED EDITION

To mark our 130th anniversary, we are reintroducing the Iconics: with limited Special Editions that unite our DNA with a contemporary look. The finest materials meet seasonal patterns, new colors, and striking designs. A tribute to our classics – with a vision towards the future.

“This is not a sock – This is FALKE”

Matthias and Gitta Schweighöfer embody professionalism, poise, and style like few others – just like FALKE. For them, a sock is not merely a garment, but an expression of personality and an awareness of quality. That is why they too are convinced: “This is not a sock – this is FALKE.” A statement that represents values that endure – passed on from generation to generation.

Two generations, two personalities, one profound bond: Matthias and Gitta Schweighöfer are the new faces of our campaign “From Generation to Generation.” Authentic, approachable, and style-conscious, they embody exactly what FALKE has stood for over 130 years: family values, creative expression, and genuine character.

As an internationally acclaimed German actor and film producer, Matthias Schweighöfer, together with his mother Gitta – herself a renowned actress – embodies a modern spirit of life and a strong bond between generations. Their connection, charisma, and sense of style make them ideal ambassadors for the new FALKE campaign “From Generation to Generation.”

What unites a German heritage brand with a family of artists? More than one might think. Matthias and Gitta Schweighöfer and the company FALKE share a common attitude: an awareness of heritage, a love of craftsmanship, and a commitment to preserving quality over time.

Both generations of the Schweighöfer family stand for individuality and expressiveness – and for a sense of togetherness built on trust and respect. In their collaboration with FALKE, an authentic picture emerges: not a staged family idyll, but a lived closeness – with edges, depth, and character.

FALKE ICONICS

What endures across generations? Quality you can both see and feel. Our FALKE Iconics are precisely that: timeless essentials that have become an integral part of everyday life for decades. They embody craftsmanship, a flawless fit, and uncompromising comfort.

With internationally renowned German model Franziska Knuppe and her daughter Mathilda, FALKE puts two generations of customers centre stage who unite tradition and contemporary spirit, as well as family bonds and continuity: two generations connected by a sense of style and an awareness of values.

While Franziska opts for timeless elegance with fine materials, Mathilda brings a casual freshness and youthful lightness to the styling. Both share a commitment to quality and an eye for special details.

130 Years – FALKE Says “Thank You”

130 years of FALKE – none of it would have been possible without the people who have accompanied FALKE throughout the years. That is why we sincerely say “Thank You”: to our employees, our partners, fellow collaborators – and above all, to our loyal customers worldwide.

From product development, through retail, to wardrobes and sock drawers: every single contribution has shaped FALKE – and continues to do so today. Many of our customers have accompanied us for generations, trust our quality, and pass that trust on – from parents to children, from friend to friend.

Our campaign “From Generation to Generation” is a heartfelt thank you to all of you. You make FALKE what it is: a family-owned company with values, integrity, soul, and a vision for the future. We look forward to continuing this journey together.
