Swedish Hasbeens Clogs are here!


We’re detecting a strong presence from the beyond.

A psychedelic force is attempting communication.

Wait.

Does Swedish Hasbeens mean anything to you? It should. The Scandinavian company is giving cool accessories from the ’70s an afterlife, and the stylish clogs handcrafted from high-quality natural wood and leather are making us believers.

Channel Stevie’s witchy cool in Peep Toe Super High sandals that make your legs look as perfect as an isosceles triangle’s. Or go for Joni’s subdued intelligence in Slip Ins.

The clogs come in cheery colors (yellow, red, blue) that will give any earthbound sole a lift.

That’s the spirit.

Huset-shop.com is so excited to be the one of the few places you can get Swedish Hasbeens in the United States!  Everyone has been so patient waiting for these to come in! These clogs are sure to take the US by storm.They were in Lucky magazine a few months ago, and are scheduled to be in other fashion magazines as well.

This Hasbeen model is based on a high-heeled clog from the late disco 70’s. It is 3.5 inches high and really comfortable. . This clog is hand-made in Sweden with genuine natural grained leather and a lime-tree wooden sole. The high-quality leather will be harder in the beginning but will quickly soften and stretch with wear.

We LOVE the story behind these, so enjoy this bit from the Swedish Hasbeens:

Here name was Anita and she was the hottest mum in all of southern Sweden in the 1970′s. While smoking Camels, she screamed at her kids until her curlers fell out and just looked fabulous in her white high-heeled clogs.

One summer day in 2006 we found the shoes she wore (300 pairs of red, white and black beautiful clogs from the 70’s) in the basement of an old clog factory in the neighboring village and brought them to Stockholm. So for all these people that shared our love for Anita’s wooden shoes and for ourselves we started Swedish Hasbeens.

Our ambition is to continue to release more incoherent and fun shoes and stuff inspired by Hasbeens that once ruled the planet.

The Hasbeens are based on original 70’s models and are made of ecologically prepared natural grain leather since it’s the most beautiful and the highest quality at the same time as it’s environmentally friendly.
