Our legacy
1899
In 1899, just south of the Arctic Circle, our history began with Böle Tannery. At the time, it was one of many spruce bark tanneries in Sweden.
Early 1900s
Leather was made with only spruce bark and river water. Simplicity and durability became the foundation that we still build upon.
Mid 1900s
The craft was carried through generations. Skills and values were passed on, keeping Nordic simplicity alive.
1977
A journey to Bangladesh created a friendship between families that is still going strong. A bond was built on shared values of craft and care.
1996
Our long-standing commitment to quality was recognised when we became Purveyor to the Royal Court of Sweden.
2000s
Based on the decades-long family friendship in Bangladesh, we established our own manufacturing studio. The aim was to demonstrate the possibility of fair trading in a challenging environment.
The new brand Sandlund Hossain was launched, as our studio has become a little factory. The objective was to offer our bags and accessories as sustainable, everyday luxury.
2018
We launched a unique circular program, The Cow Funder Initiative, that links every bag sold to giving back to rural women in Bangladesh.
2025
We have tens of thousands of happy customers throughout Sweden. To serve our existing customers and reach new ones, we established our first flagship store in Stockholm.
Rooted in the North, Sandain will continue to design and make leather goods with care for people, nature and materials. And the journey will continue to new places.
