Adler said: “Soulland has been the journey of my lifetime; more than that, it has been my life since I founded the brand at the age of 17 in December 2002. Since Jacob Kampp Berliner joined me in 2006, I have had the best and most cherished experiences. Running a brand with your best friend is an immense privilege.

“The future is uncertain, but I need to take a leap of faith to discover what lies ahead. I want to thank many people, especially Jacob and his family, Cecilie, Roberta, Barbara, and Albert. Lastly, the biggest thank you to my sons, Balder and Henry, and to the foundation and love of my life, Sascha.”
