Hasbeens are Now

As I've established in previous posts, Sweden rocks. Not that I've been, but it has damn good candy, comfy lounge chairs, svelte people and awesome shoes. If you haven't been keeping up with my blog, damn good candy = Sockerbit, comfy lounge chairs = Fatboy and svelte people = Alexander Skarsgård (I've never mentioned him before but it goes without saying). As for the shoes, read on.

You know when you see an item, convince yourself you shouldn't buy it, walk away and then can't stop thinking about it? Well, if you are familiar with this dilemma you also know that you return to the store days (hours) later, purchase, admire and convince yourself it was a solid buy. This happens all too often in my life and as of late, it was a beautiful pair of Swedish Hasbeens that defeated my willpower. 

These shoes are handmade, eco-friendly and draw inspiration from the fashion trends of the seventies. The high quality leather, construction and comfort of these Hasbeens make them a sensible investment. At least I like to think so.

Also, I am dying to meet the creative mastermind in charge of their ad campaigns. The collections are always themed, Autumn/Winter 2013 is Victorian Gypsies, and below I've compiled a number of snapshots from previous years:
