My grandfather's father Sven was born on the Bjäre peninsula in 1860. When his son (my grandfather) built his summerhouse i the 1930's in Båstad close to the Hotel Riviera, this was the racket they played with. Its whimsical strings are the inspiration to the "BÅSTAD-TENNISRACK"-pattern.


My best friend's grandmother's tofflor/clogs worn (and still in use) for years on the tiny cobbled streets of Torekov and handed down to generations. Its naive handpainted flowers and worn patina is the inspiration to the "TOREKOV-TOFFEL"-pattern.
