SoLow is a Dutch retail chain that specializes in party supplies, hobby and craft supplies, and other non-food items. The company was founded in 2003 by brothers Danny and François Dame, at that time from a stall at a local market. The parent company of SoLow is therefore also called D&F and is located in Culemborg. As of 2022, the company has 46 branches in the Netherlands and Flanders.[1]

In 2021, private equity fund Vendis Capital acquired the majority stake for at least 15 million euros. With the investment, SoLow wanted to expand, both in the Netherlands and abroad.[2] However, some branches were transferred to the similar retail chain Feela.

In 2024, a large fire started at a branch of SoLow in Arnhem.[3]
