The beginning.

ALCANSIDE started with a simple idea: if you use something every day, it should feel premium. We began experimenting with materials, shapes, and design, obsessed with making a phone case that didn’t feel like “just a phone case”.

First real momentum

We improved our product quality, learned how to build a real brand, and started shipping to customers beyond the Netherlands. Step by step, ALCANSIDE became more than a side project.

Finding our identity.

This was the year everything started to feel consistent. ALCANSIDE became more minimal, more refined, and more focused on what we stand for: clean aesthetics, luxury-level materials, and an automotive inspired feeling.

A brand people recognised.

We grew our community, expanded our product range, and improved our customer experience. ALCANSIDE became a daily accessory for people who care about details.

Taking it to the next level.

We started moving faster. Better supply chain, better production, bigger goals. This was the year we fully committed to scaling ALCANSIDE internationally while keeping the quality and design standards high.

Five years of ALCANSIDE

A milestone year. We celebrated five years of building, improving, learning, and growing. What started as a small idea became a brand trusted by customers worldwide and supported by real partnerships and community energy.

Just getting started

We’re building the next chapter: new product categories, new collaborations, and higher ambitions. Same philosophy, same obsession for detail. ALCANSIDE is still founder built, still evolving, and still focused on making everyday accessories feel premium.
