History
Founded in 2012 by Adriana Dumon, Fran Rios, and Antonio Longás, Ölend originated as a project focused on reviving traditional backpack construction. The brand gained recognition within the independent design scene for its commitment to local manufacturing in Spain. It occupies a specific niche in fashion history by bridging the gap between technical outdoor gear and high-fashion aesthetics, particularly through the popularization of quilted, lightweight silhouettes in urban environments.
