About Us

Vagabond Shoemakers

We are a contemporary footwear brand dedicated to true craftsmanship and an everlasting passion for great-looking shoes. Our inspiration is widely drawn from the cultural sphere, but first and foremost from all the interesting people crossing our path at Vagabond. Each collection centres on the concept of everyday style, with durable quality and refined detailing at the heart of our design process.
 

Vagabond Shoemakers Foundation

From December 31, 2023, the founders and owners of Vagabond handed over the entire company, as a gift, to the new Vagabond Shoemakers Foundation. The new form of ownership ensures that surpluses from the Vagabond operations are used for research, education and charity projects within the areas defined in the foundation's statutes.

"We have always wanted our achievements to become support for initiatives and projects needed in our present time. A foundation means the opportunity to give continuous and substantial support. It also means a lot to us that the company will continue developing according to set goals and intentions," says founders Mats Nilsson and Marie Nilsson Peterzén.
 

Our philosophy

Our sustainability mission is to drive a movement toward conscious consumption. By creating shoes and accessories with long-lasting style and quality, we hope you will love and wear them even longer.

The framework of our philosophy follows the four C’s: The Craft, The Choice, The Care, and The Change. It all starts in our design studio in Varberg, Sweden. Making our shoes last is the first vital step to ease the strain on our environment. But every step is essential, and you have an important part in this too. By keeping the four pillars in mind, we can encourage more conscious consumption and lower the fashion industry’s impact on the planet.
