Swedish footwear and leather goods brand launched in Stockholm in spring 2013 by Gustav Lidén, Pingis Hadenius, Hanna Kwiatkowska Thisner and Isabella Löwengrip, first known for its almond-toe indoor ballet flat with a wool insole.
Best for Minimal shoes and bags with clean Scandinavian style.
Flattered was founded in Stockholm in the spring of 2013 by four co-founders: Gustav Lidén, Pingis Hadenius, Hanna Kwiatkowska Thisner and Isabella Löwengrip. The starting idea combined a Scandinavian habit — removing shoes at the door to keep snow and mud out of the house — with co-founder Hanna Kwiatkowska Thisner's observation that stylish indoor slippers existed for men but were hard to find for women. Their answer was an indoor ballet flat with an almond-shaped toe and a soft woollen insole, which became the brand's first product and signature piece. Early orders from NK, one of Sweden's most prominent department stores, helped the brand gain traction quickly, and major department stores in other countries followed. The company describes 2017 as the year it found its current design identity, after Anna Johansson joined as creative director. Flattered has since expanded from ballet flats into a wider range of footwear and leather bags, still designed in Stockholm but manufactured in Italy, Portugal and Spain rather than in Sweden. It remains positioned as a contemporary Scandinavian footwear label built around comfort-driven basics rather than seasonal fashion pieces.

PRINTEMPS
Stockholm bag and backpack label founded 2004 by childhood friends Anton, Daniel and Sebastian Sandqvist, who began building packs in Anton's Stockholm basement. Known for waxed-canvas rolltops blending Nordic outdoor and city design.
Best for Waxed-canvas rolltop bags for Nordic outdoor commuting
Sandqvist was founded in 2004 by three childhood friends - Anton, Daniel and Sebastian - who grew up together in rural Sweden before settling in Stockholm in the late 1990s. Anton Sandqvist, a mechanical engineer, began building backpacks in his Stockholm basement almost as a creative side project. Within a month his basement held the first hundred Sandqvist bags; within eighteen months the brand had grown into a small but reputable Swedish name stocked by around fifteen retailers nationwide. The design language draws on vintage outdoor packs and Swedish military gear, reworked with updated materials - waxed and coated canvas, leather trim, simple rolltop and flap-closure silhouettes.
Stockholm, Sweden
Elin Kling and Karl Lindman's Stockholm house, founded 2014 — the T-Lock bag, scarf jackets and pared-back wardrobe staples with a French sensibility.
Best for Scandinavian-French effortless style.
Totême was founded in Stockholm in 2014 by Elin Kling — the fashion journalist and one of the first true style bloggers — and her husband Karl Lindman, an art director trained on New York magazines. The premise was editorial: build the wardrobe Kling kept recommending and could never quite find — Scandinavian restraint warmed by French ease, pieces designed to recur, not to trend.
The signatures accumulated with unusual discipline: the scarf jacket, its collar draping into a built-in muffler, became the house's photograph; the T-Lock bag put a brass monogram on architectural leather; barrel-leg denim, sculptural knits and the embroidered-monogram tees round out what the founders frankly call a system rather than collections.
Stockholm headquarters, flagships from Mercer Street to London, and a customer who buys in multiples: Totême scaled the quiet way, profitably and without spectacle. It is Scandinavia's cleanest export since functional furniture — the wardrobe as well-designed object, restocked like one.
