Brand facts
Sandqvist is a Stockholm bag brand founded in 2004 by Anton Sandqvist, later joined by his brother Daniel and friend Sebastian, after he made a work tote he couldn't buy anywhere. The line covers rolltop and flap backpacks, laptop bags, totes, weekenders and small leather goods in cotton canvas, recycled polyester and vegetable-tanned leather. Design is pared-back Scandinavian functionality drawn from rural mid-Sweden and urban commuting, with an in-house sustainability program. Bags sell direct online and through design and outdoor retailers across Europe.
