Modegeschichte
Founded in 1946 by Daniel J. Wellehan Sr., William Beaudoin, and Joseph Cordeau in Maine, Sebago began with the creation of the hand-sewn penny loafer. In 1970, the brand introduced the Docksides boat shoe, which became a staple of maritime attire. Its cultural significance grew through adoption by the 1980s preppy movement and European youth subcultures. The brand remains a historical reference point for authentic American moccasin construction and functional deck footwear.
