Kitty Clogs

Deep in the wintry wilds of Southern Sweden lives a family of master clog-makers. In a cosy cabin carpeted with wood shavings, hidden beneath a canopy of snow-topped evergreens, they work through the winter months and have been lovingly handcrafting the traditional Swedish träskor for over 50 years.
They combine their skill and traditional manufacturing methods with contemporary designs by Sacha Schwartz of Kitty Clogs Sweden to create distinctive, luxurious clogs and a touch of their earth origin to our urban jungle:


Each unique pair is hand-finished in natural Swedish alder and birch wood from the forest around their workshop, with individually dyed natural leathers:


We asked Sacha about her favourite products and where she finds her inspiration:
“I absolutely love the Bronze Low Aaliyah Träskor (below). The designs in our AW collection are fresh, and vibrant, and use gorgeous metallic leathers to give the clogs a really powerful and contemporary feel:
St Leonards on Sea is a stunning place. It’s a creative hub for many small businesses and start ups – a community that I love being a part of! Plus it’s right by the sea. I gain a great deal of inspiration from the colours of the sea and it’s natural beauty. Many of our photoshoots use the beach and sea as a striking back drop.”

 Kitty Clogs Sweden will be bringing their beautiful clogs to Homeworks on Sunday 10 December.
