General

SoHome was born in 2017, founded by the two of us, Andrea and Andrea.
Yes, we have the same name — we’ve been friends our whole lives and today we’re both married with three children each. From this story a store was born that is more than just a shop: it’s a space designed for families, a place to take your time, among carefully selected homeware, products for little ones, vinyl records to listen to, and Japanese stationery to discover.
Not just any store, but a piece of our life that we want to share with you.

Our taste is a mix of Nordic aesthetics — essential and refined — with a contemporary eye open to the world: we look for textures, materials, and objects that tell a story, each one selected personally by us.
We don’t follow passing trends: we choose what we’d want to have in our own home, and that’s what makes SoHome different.

You’ll find early childhood products designed to accompany children’s growth up to school age, a corner dedicated to vinyl records and turntables for those who love music in a different way, a space for Japanese stationery for lovers of beautiful, well-made things, as well as home décor items and gift ideas to make your home special.

Yes, and it’s the heart of our project.
Products for the 0-10 age range are the ones we know best, because we choose them with the same eye we use for our own three children. That’s why we give families special attention: in store you’ll also find a dedicated area for diaper changing and breastfeeding, designed for anyone who needs a quiet moment with their child. It’s always accessible and free, no need to ask: just come in whenever you need it.

We’re also part of “Progetto Baby Space“, the network that maps family-friendly places all over Italy. You can find us on their map of certified locations too.

In 2017 we decided to turn our passion for beautiful, well-made objects into a store in Carpi (MO), with a clear idea in mind: to create a place where people would feel welcomed, not just served.
That’s where we learned, one customer at a time, the value of listening. Today we carry that with us in everything we do, from the physical store to the online shop.

You can find us in Carpi (MO), at Corso Alberto Pio 38. We’re open Monday to Saturday, from 9:00 AM to 12:45 PM and from 3:30 PM to 7:30 PM.
We’re closed Thursday afternoon and on Sundays. Around holidays or during particular periods (for example in summer) hours may vary slightly: if you want to be sure before coming, take a look at our social channels or write to us at info@sohome.it

Our products

Yes, all the products you find at SoHome, both in store and on our online shop, are 100% original. Every brand we choose to carry in store, from established names like Seletti, Jellycat, HK Living, Liewood, Crosley, and Ibride to young, up-and-coming brands, first passes through our “filter.”
It has to reflect the values of quality and style that we believe in ourselves, first and foremost. Every product is covered by the warranty required by law and, where applicable, by the manufacturer’s warranty. If you have doubts about a specific item or want to know more about where it comes from, write to us at info@sohome.it

Yes, we are an official retailer of every brand you find at SoHome.
We buy only from official distributors or directly from the brand: it’s how we guarantee to ourselves, before we can guarantee it to you, that every product is 100% original.

We do our best to represent every product as accurately as possible, with real photos and detailed descriptions of materials and finishes.
Colors and shades can still vary slightly depending on the screen you’re using. For handcrafted products or those made from natural materials (wood, ceramic, fabric), small variations from piece to piece are normal: they’re part of the charm of each unique item, kind of like we like it.
If you have doubts about a specific product before buying it, write to us at info@sohome.it: we’ll be happy to give you all the information or additional photos.

Yes, all the products we sell meet the requirements and regulations for sale on the European market, including those dedicated to products for infants and children. The safety of little ones is something we care about above all else, first as parents, even before as shopkeepers.

Of course! If the recipient doesn’t like the gift, they can exchange it without any problem: just come to the store in Carpi with the product (intact and in its original packaging) to swap it for another item of equal value, or contact us at info@sohome.it if the purchase was made online.
