Our Story

Sweyd is a small Swedish workshop and design studio founded in 2016 by two brothers who grew up in the heart of the Italian shoe industry. Classic versatility lies at the core of our design and production, with inspiration drawn from vintage sportswear and military icons.

For more than five decades, our family has worked closely with Italian shoemakers, developing, designing, and trading quality footwear together with small, family-owned workshops - primarily in the Marche region.

What began in the 1970s, when our father first travelled to Italy to start his business, continues to shape the way we work today.

Made and crafted in Italy using locally sourced, high-grade materials selected by us, our shoes are Italian through and through.

Our approach

We only work with small scale production and great replenishment possibilities. This means that we do not manufacture our shoes in large volumes and do not make more than we sell. We work with methodic repetition, no due dates - across seasons. Long lasting styles with focus on high quality and longevity.

Repair and recycle


Always check with your local shoe repair shop if your shoes are repairable before you recycle them. With as much thought as possible, we design our shoes to be repairable to the greatest extent possible. A skilled shoemaker can replace the outsole, fit new heel counters, and carry out other essential repairs to extend the life of your shoes.

If you no longer use your shoes, they can be sold on the second-hand market to find a new home.
