Vagabond Shoemakers Growth 

Founded in the early 1970s, Vagabond Shoemakers started exclusively designing men's footwear in Varburg, Sweden. From its small beginnings, Vagabond has grown into a world-renowned brand with showrooms in Berlin, Copenhagen and New York, as well as a production office in Ho Chi Minh City. 

To date, Vagabond operates in more than 45 markets worldwide with carefully selected multi-brand stores alongside their concept stores, and online, and in-store shops. Besides Scandinavia, key markets include Germany, the UK, the USA and Russia. With sales of about 1.5 million pairs yearly, this company and brand has stayed on its successful trajectory. How do they account for this exponential growth? 

Vagabond Ethos

Right from the start Vagabond Shoemakers had a very clear vision. They aimed to create contemporary footwear with a strong focus on quality and sustainability. The city of Varberg is home to their headquarters and design studio. Designers and partners from around the globe come here to collaborate, resulting in this creative hub becoming the birthplace of many of their iconic designs. 

“We are shoemakers at heart and soul. We want to make great looking shoes for people in all corners of the world. And we believe that great design does not have to cost a fortune.”  

Marie Nilsson Peterzén, Co-founder

For Vagabond shoemaking is a pure craft. Their core philosophy is to create timeless products with sustainable design and lasting aesthetics. Design doesn't come at the expense of function. Vagabond makes intentional choices concerning each element of the shoe from the materials and construction to design. Vagabond has a full-scale prototyping workshop alongside its studio, this allows them the freedom to create and test all their ideas to achieve excellence. 

A lot of thought goes into sourcing the best quality materials. All leather used by the brand is from LWG (Leather Working Group) certified tanneries. They use chrome-free tanned insoles to the greatest extent possible, while their textile linings consist of either GOTS-certified organic cotton, recycled polyester or Tencel™. 

Our customers notice the difference with Vagabond footwear. The styles are hardwearing and look fresh season after season. The contemporary, at times minimal styling gives them a timeless edge that never dates.
