Om oss

Sandqvist is a Stockholm-based brand which aims to become a leader when it comes to bags and accessories in the fashion industry. Challenging the role of functionality in design and practicing sustainability and respect for the environment at all times without compromising the aesthetics, Sandqvist places its core values as a lifestyle brand firmly at the forefront. Sandqvist was founded in 2004, initially as an experimental design project by three childhood friends; Anton, Daniel and Sebastian. The brand grew organically as a response to the lack of well-crafted, design-led, functional bags on offer at the time and disrupted the status-quo on how practicality can go hand-in-hand with design. Staying true to their Scandinavian roots, the three founders still believe in Swedish values; sustainability and care for the environment, high-quality designs and an unbeatable approach to function. These principals are ever-present throughout every element of the collection and the brand is living proof all of these can be fused to create expertly-designed products at a reasonable price point. As part of its continued international expansion strategy, Sandqvist is carried by a selected range of prestigious retailers – including the likes of Le Bon Marché, KaDeWe, Liberty, END, Free People and Selfridges. In total the brand is carried at over 650 doors globally. The first-ever store opened in Stockholm, Sweden in November 2011. Followed by 6 stores, in Stockholm Sweden, London England ,Berlin Germany and Paris France. Today Sandqvist is represented in 35 countries, with the biggest markets being in the Nordics and Europe.

    As part of the new season we tasked tufting artist Oscar Wall with producing a series of unique artworks for our Sandqvist stores. The artworks are inspired by the prominent Swedish painter Helmer Osslund (1866-1938), who’s oil paintings of Swedish landscapes have inspired many of our past colourways. We paid a visit to Oscar's studio in Stockholm for coffee and a look into how he produced his intricate tuftings.

I have such great respect for the bees and their important work. It felt beautiful and joyful to honor and interpret these small, hard-working creatures," says Siri Carlén.

    Our sustainability report is out, and we’re proud to say that during 2023 we took numerous small and large steps toward becoming an even more sustainable brand. Here are four key takeaways: We’ve Introduced Our Four-Day Workweek In 2023, we launched a four-day, 30-hour workweek, maintaining full-time staff salaries. This led to better well-being, engagement, and work-life balance, fostering our responsible company culture and decreasing our environmental footprint due to fewer commutes. We Reduced the Carbon Footprint per Purchased Product We've cut the carbon footprint for each product, even as production grew by 30%. With smarter material choices and production enhancements, we've kept emission increases to just 2%, moving towards separating business growth from carbon emissions. We’ve Created Our Climate Roadmap We introduced a key tool, the Climate Roadmap, to align our growth with our climate commitments up to 2030. This tool helps us plan and prioritize emission reductions, using past data and future projections to guide our journey towards a smaller carbon footprint. Each year, we'll refresh our strategy with the latest data, ensuring our goals stay ambitious yet achievable.   We've Consolidated Our Supply Chain to Increase Control We made our supply chain more efficient by focusing on impactful supplier partnerships and smarter resource use to mitigate risks. Fewer, closer supplier ties mean focused work and deeper connections to spark change. ...And, We've Got a Good Score! By placing a strong focus on human rights in every part of our work, we’ve made sure we’re up to date with upcoming legislation and global standards. Our efforts have paid off with a "good" score from Fair Wear’s audit. We’re happy to have received this score as proof of our commitment to fair and ethical working conditions throughout our supply chain. Want to read more about our sustainability work?

    Who says a good thing doesn’t last? We blinked, and 20 years flew by, yet we’re still here crafting bags for a new generation. As we present our SS24 collection, that heritage is still our guiding star: minimalist design is paired with functional features and recycled materials. https://lnkd.in/dmR396eT We tasked RAY ATELIER with creating an installation that encapsulates that archetypal Sandqvist feeling. #sandqvist #sandqvistbags #fromnordiclandscapes #20yearsofmakingbags
