When Swedish Hasbeens launched a Pop-up Shop at Selfridges in London a month ago. I simply had to head over to see, feel and try on. So I went along with a Swedish friend, for some native advice on these fab retro Scandinavian must have clogs.




© Go Scandinavian
I did find “my pair” of nude sandals with the beloved (high, but not so high so very practical when walking in the city) clog style heel. Luckily for my bank account, they didn’t have mys size. Unfortunately the super sweet and helpful shopping assistant will be calling me when they get them back in…
