Swedish Hasbeens

Once upon the seventies, in the south of Sweden, lived a woman named Anita. She was a Camel smoking, curler-wearing mother who was, above all, fabulous.

Fast forward to the summer of 2006. Not far from where Anita lived, 300+ pairs of red, white, and black of her clogs were discovered in a basement of an old clog factory. This was the start of our new favorite shoe line, Swedish Hasbeens.

Last weekend, Lizard Lounge hosted a Swedish Hasbeens Trunk Show with 20% off all Hasbeens and gift with purchase plus Krogstad aquavit bloody marys from House Spirits Distillery, Bowery Bagels,

First Thursday | July 2012

Oh, what a week! Between the 4th and First Thursday, July started off with more than a bang from the fire works.

Art by Jason Brown and Chris Haberman.

10% off all sales during the event went to our non-profit of the month, Right Brain Initiative. They focus their efforts in bringing back the arts to Portland public schools. We always loved doing creative projects growing up, so we were very excited to have them! For more information on how to get involved click here!
