OUR STORY
The Gudrun Sjödén brand was established in 1976, built on the idea of creating clothes with excellent design, crafted from natural materials in beautiful colours and made for mixing and matching this season (with other pieces in this season’s range) and many years to come. This central idea continues to drive the company today and will also continue to exist through the Gudrun Sjödén Foundation for years to come. We believe that funding from the Foundation will provide ongoing support for Gudrun’s personal approach to natural fabrics, colours, design and sustainability.
In the 2000s, we are shifting our focus to the digital world via a webshop that manages our contact with all existing customers and potential new ones across the globe. Customers that like our values, our culture and want to be part of the Gudrun Universe. At Gudrun Sjödén, we hope that the many opportunities afforded by the Foundation will facilitate and inspire many women in their choice of projects and activities.
