Collection: TARVAS

How do you create a shoe that is resistant to unpredictable weather conditions and lives up to high aesthetic standards?

To answer that we, a group of footwear professionals, got together in Helsinki to create a functional style statement. We worked on and refined a footwear silhouette inspired by the Nordic climate and timeless style. The thinking was: if it works here, it’ll work anywhere.

From the start we were true to what we believed in, making the shoes authentic and premium, making sure they look good, last and keep your feet happy.

To make all the different features work perfectly we crafted countless prototypes in our basement workshop. Finally, things clicked into place and we were happy. So, in 2017 the first batch of Tarvas footwear was introduced to the world. 

For us, the design was never only about the shoe – it was about what it makes possible for you. When the shoe lives up to all our demands, it serves your inner and outer journeys. You’re free to explore where open outdoor spaces and your own inner spaces meet.

We have continued honing the design. Seeing more and more people wander in our shoes and witnessing how they relate to Tarvas has encouraged us to expand our portfolio beyond footwear.
