Myrqvist

When Sebastian Öhrn founded Myrqvist in 2016, he envisioned a Swedish brand that stood out from those from the UK and Italy. The timeless Scandinavian design distinguishes the shoe from the traditionally pointed Italian design and the rounder British. Thanks to smart logistics and a few retailers, Myrqvist can offer handmade shoes with an affordable price tag without compromising quality.

Produced in Portugal

With proud Scandinavian roots, the shoes are designed at the headquarters in Stockholm. The shoes are handmade in Portugal, with carefully selected leather qualities. The calfskin comes from the Hermés-owned du Puy tannery in France and the suede from Charles F. Stead in England. Almost all models are constructed with a durable Goodyear Welted sole, contributing to a quality shoe that lasts for decades.

Classics from Scandinavia

Myrqvist offers classical stylish shoes for several occasions. For example, their Oxford shoes that pairs perfectly with a formal wedding outfit as well as a pair of jeans. The popular Äppelviken Oxford is available in black calf leather, dark brown calf leather or dark brown suede. Other models are the welted loafer Stenhammar and the Chelsea boots Granhult, which can all become your new autumn favourites.

Together with us at Care of Carl, Myrqvist also shares the concern for durability, quality and not least the importance of taking care of your quality shoes to ensure their longevity. You can do this by allowing the shoes to rest between uses and using shoe trees after each use to preserve the fit. Read more about how to take care of your quality shoes here.
