Myrqvist is a Swedish footwear brand with a Scandinavian approach to style and design making strides in the footwear world. Taking classic footwear styles and giving them an informed approach in aesthetic and functionality suitable to Northern Europe along with a focus on details such as using particular tanneries for their leather and suede and half-rubber soles to suit North European climates – think, rain and snow. Only a few years old, Myrqvist already boasts a solid lineup of styles, including Derbies, Oxfords, Loafers, Boots, Sneakers and Sandals. Everything you need from business attire to weekend clobber as well as holiday kicks. Jättebra as the Swedes would say.
Myrqvist pride themselves in their dedication to craftsmanship, with a manifesto to craft quality footwear in a timeless design that can be purchased at a reasonable price. Their shoes are made to last, both withstanding the test of time as well as going beyond the restrictions of trends. Styles are design in their Stockholm headquarters, while the shoes are made and assembled by experienced artisans in Portugal – whom they have long standing relationship with, ensuring the highest quality is maintained.
Myrqvist shoes are designed to be accessible in style and price, allowing you to get premium footwear for reasonable prices relating to their quality and craftsmanship without unnecessary markups. They opened a shop on London's Jermyn Street – famous for menswear, and more importantly footwear – rubbing shoulders with British heritage stalwarts such as Crockett & Jones, Trickers and John Lobb to show they mean business. And when you compare the styles and prices, you'll be impressed with the quality in craftsmanship. I've got my eyes on a pair of suede loafers, and perhaps a Belgian loafer to go for black tie.
