Our story

Once upon a time there lived a fisherman named August who spent his days at sea. He had a trusty oilcoat that kept him warm and dry even in the most extreme storms. The rock became a symbol of his adventurous spirit and perseverance. It has remained in the family long after he himself and we grandchildren were inspired by his story.

In grandfather's honor and his coats, we decided to start the company Sjödala.

We combined our own love of the sea and our grandfather's adventurous spirit to create a range of high-quality waxed canvas bags that are as durable and reliable as August's coat.

Each bag is carefully designed and crafted with the best materials to hold up to all the rigors of a traveling bag, just like August's coat has.
