The story: Her name was Anita and she was the hottest mum in all of southern Sweden in the 1970’s. While smoking a Camel she screamed at her kids until her curlers fell out and just looked fabulous in her white high-heeled clogs.
One summer day in 2006 we found the shoes she wore (300 pairs of red, white and black beautiful clogs from the 70’s) in the basement of an old clog factory in the neighboring village and brought them to Stockholm. So for all these people that shared our love for Anita’s wooden shoes and for ourselves we started Swedish Hasbeens.
Our ambition is to continue to release more incoherent and fun shoes and stuff inspired by Hasbeens that once ruled the planet. The Hasbeens toffels, bags and belts are based on original 70’s models and are made of ecologically prepared natural grain leather since it’s the most beautiful and the highest quality at the same time as it’s environmentally friendly.
They are still handmade with respect for people and the environment in the old traditional way, and in small factories that have made shoes for decades. Our production methods and material are kind to nature and people. Happy toffels make happy people.
Good with or without socks...
They even come with instructions to ensure that your kids will inherit them! 
One of their instructions is to use olive oil to soften up and add moisture to the leather. We took the liberty and did it for you the first time...and to beautiful effect. It really makes the color come to life! 
They're amazing. And comfortable. And so stinkin' beautiful!

Dear Lord,
You have HasBeens, what I've been online stalking for the last 2 weeks. This is why I love you so much Betty's. Look forward to seeing you soon! Can I have some?
