Founded in 2004 by Anton Sandqvist in Stockholm, Sandqvist emerged from a dissatisfaction with the uninspired bags available in the market. Joined by his brother Daniel and friend Sebastian, the trio set out to create bags and accessories that reflected their Scandinavian heritage and appreciation for functional, minimalist design. Inspired by the Nordic landscape and urban lifestyle, Sandqvist designs combine simplicity with practicality. The brand uses high-quality materials such as organic cotton canvas and recycled polyester, emphasizing durability and environmental responsibility. The products range from backpacks and duffel bags to wallets and accessories, all featuring thoughtful details and clean aesthetics. Sustainability is a cornerstone of Sandqvist's philosophy. The brand is committed to ethical manufacturing practices, working with factories that ensure fair wages and safe working conditions. Sandqvist is a member of the Fair Wear Foundation and actively engages in initiatives to reduce its environmental impact, such as implementing repair services and encouraging recycling. Sandqvist has grown from a small operation to an international brand, with flagship stores in major cities like Stockholm, London, and Berlin. The brand has cultivated a loyal customer base that values both style and sustainability. Sandqvist continues to innovate, exploring new materials and designs that align with its vision of responsible consumption.
