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.

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.

Tretorn was established in Helsingborg, Sweden in 1891, initially manufacturing rubber galoshes for farmers dealing with harsh weather and inadequate footwear. Henry Dunker, son of the founding owner, joined as the company's first salesman and pushed for functional rubber shoes made from a patented rubber compound, Dunker Gummi; the company produced almost 250,000 pairs in its first two years and one million pairs by 1896. It added canvas shoes with rubber soles, along with tennis balls, hoses and bike pedals, by 1902. Tretorn released its Nylite tennis shoe in 1967, later described as the world's first luxury tennis sneaker and worn by professional players as well as becoming a preppy style staple. While the US market associates Tretorn chiefly with tennis, in Europe and the UK the brand is equally known for rubber boots and wellingtons.
