Moda Tarihi
Founded in 2012 by Adriana Dumon, Fran Rios, and Antonio Longás, Ölend originated as a project to revive traditional backpack construction. The founders initially produced items by hand in a small Barcelona studio. The brand gained significance during the global shift toward slow fashion and transparent manufacturing. It contributes to the contemporary history of Spanish design by prioritizing local craftsmanship over mass production, influencing the aesthetic of modern urban commuting gear.
