About us

We love quality. We love design. We love how our shoes age with time. We believe that sustainable fashion of today is all about clothes and shoes that stays relevant and can be worn year after year.

Walk carefully on mother nature

Kavat is the Swedish shoe company. Founded in 1945 by Ragnar Karlsson. Today, the fourth generation works in the family business. We love quality. We love design. We love how our shoes age over time. We believe that today's sustainable fashion is about clothes and shoes that remain relevant and can be worn year after year.

Materials

Most of our shoes are made of leather – nature's own functional material. The leather acquires different properties through different tanning techniques, treatments, and surface layers. Here you can read more about our different qualities, so you know which material suits you best!

Care by Kavat

We have gathered all our circular initiatives under one roof: Care by Kavat. With Repair Service, we give new life to worn-out boots in our workshop in Kumla. Through As New, you can find pre-loved footwear online or let your old favorites find a new home. And take care of the shoes you already have with environmentally friendly shoe care under Care & Prepare.
