SAREK – A TRIBUTE TO UNTOUCHED WILDERNESS

This season we re-launch our iconic Sarek Boot with a new apparel collection inspired by Swedish 70’s mountain hiking. The Sarek Collection is a tribute to the extreme wilderness in Sarek – considered the largest untouched wilderness in Europe and protected as a world heritage site by UNESCO since 1995. ”The SS20 SAREK collection is sprung from the passion of finding a sustainable outdoor lifestyle, the love of the river and the surrounding mountains, and our hope that it forever remains wild.” New for the season is the Tretorn Sarek apparel collection and the collaboration with menswear designer Nigel Cabourn

RAPA VALLEY RIVER LAITAURE DELTA

SAREK National Park is a 1970 km2 national park in the western part of Jokkmokk municipality in Lapland and was formed in1909. The park is one of the oldest national parks in Europe and is Sweden's largest high mountain area where the indigenous Saami people have lived and followed the reindeer migration since ancient times. The Rapa river is a 75 km long river runs through the Rapa Valley and forms the Laitaure Delta before entering the lake. As a tribute to the beautiful river delta we created the new pattern Rapa Valley by extracting patterns from an air photo.

BRINGING BACK THE SAREK ORIGINAL BOOT

It all started 1891 crafting high quality protective rubber boots. First made for farmers in the southern part of Sweden, but soon also for hiking in the extreme mountain regions of northern Sweden. The Original Sarek boot is a symbol of Tretorn’s rich history and has been an icon for over 40 years. And since Sarek is an essential theme this season and the Scandinavian outdoors is at our core – we decided to bring our beloved Sarek 72 rubber boot back. Also, meet this new Sarek member – The Sarek Breathable is already an icon boot for the future of Scandinavian hiking.
