Karla Opazo Lindblad, founder of SLEEK Atelier

Karla Opazo is a talented Swedish entrepreneur with a passion for fashion and design. She started her career in Marketing and PR, where she established herself as a prominent figure, before pursuing her dream of creating the perfect shirt.

In collaboration with renowned Swedish designer Viktoria Chan, Karla founded SLEEK Atelier in 2016 with the aim of filling a market need for quality and stylish shirts at affordable prices. The desire to create the perfect shirt arose from a personal everyday dilemma for Karla, which she knew she couldn't possibly be alone!

Motivated by her creative instincts and the drive to offer something unique, Karla and Viktoria created a collection of shirts that combine classic elegance with modern sophistication. With sharp lines and subtle yet distinctive details such as belts, gathers and bows, their designs highlight a timeless aesthetic that is versatile and appeals across different styles and generations.

What sets SLEEK Atelier apart is not only the exemplary designs, but also the deep thoughts behind each and every collection. Each shirt is named and designed in honor of a woman in Karla's or Viktoria's life, with special details tailored to fit the individual's style, narrative and needs. This personal approach adds a unique depth to the brand, as each shirt tells its own unique story.

When you meet Karla, you will immediately feel her passion and drive. Her visual and aesthetic eye combined with her many years of expertise within marketing and creative strategy have been crucial in shaping SLEEK Atelier's identity and success. Together with Viktoria's design expertise, the two form a particularly dynamic partnership that brings their visions to life with exceptional precision and elegance.

Although the brand has gained wide recognition in both Sweden and Denmark, it still retains an aura of intimacy. This can be seen, among other things, in the fact that Karla's apartment functions as an exclusive showroom, and that sales primarily take place through their own webshop and specially selected dealers.

For Karla, the ultimate satisfaction is seeing people wearing and appreciating their SLEEK Atelier shirts. The special personal stories that appeal to women of all ages and with different lifestyles are a tribute to Karla's belief in being the best version of herself and daring to stand out. For Karla, SLEEK Atelier is not just about selling clothes; it's about inspiring women to feel confident and elegant in any situation.
