The possibility to just drop by, say hi, and make small talk has been one of my favourite parts of being in the neighborhood. I echo sdfzs feelings about the exceptional staff. Olof and Erik are both fantastic and I'm glad they will be available next door; experiencing the revelation of shoes. First visit with Dannefalk photoshopping mto ideas on the go, Douglas always dressy and friendly. The extra personell have been amazing; the one that works now, Sebastian?, have been filling in exceptionally.
I think it is easy to see the store as something that's online and on here, but for the people living in Stockholm it have been a place where you meet staff that ALWAYS take their time to discuss stuff. They are honest and are not just trying to sell footwear. How many times did Olof, Grönis, Calle and Erik laugh when I explained an idea? Shrugged? Shook their heads? Probably more often than they have agreed, but knowing that they are genuine made it easier for me to double down and be create some abominations.
Green ostrich monkey boots with chained norvegese? Blue kudu double monks? Shark jodhpurs? The orange pair? They have been there to question me and help me develop my own style. Or lack of it.
Meeting Massimo and Silvia. Daniel Wegan. The ever so anonymous Daniel Tung. You Patrik. I don't think the online culture can create the same fond memories, but if there is any store that can do it, it is the staff of Skoaktiebolaget.
It feels like everyone that left the store is still a part of the family; they all seem to be dropping by occasionally.
I hope it will be possible to host physical trunks out of the office... Touching and feeling leather is such an interesting experience.
End of rambling.
