History of Hestra

Founded by Martin Magnusson in the Swedish province of Småland, Hestra originally made gloves for local lumberjacks. Around 1930, as skiing became popular in the area, Magnusson saw an opportunity to expand into high-quality winter gloves. Today, the third and fourth generations of the Magnusson family continue the tradition, ensuring that every pair of Hestra gloves is made with the same dedication to quality and craftsmanship.

Hestra controls the entire production process, from designing and developing the gloves in their Swedish headquarters to manufacturing in their own factories. By personally selecting and purchasing leather, wool and other materials, Hestra maintains strict control over quality at every step of the production process.

Hestra and sustainability

The brand believes that durable, well-made gloves help reduce waste by minimizing the need for frequent replacements. Hestra gloves are designed to last for years and offer high quality, functionality and will keep you stylish for multiple winters.

The brand uses responsible materials as much as possible, such as natural leather from environmentally friendly tanneries and renewable wool. Additionally, Hestra incorporates high-performance synthetic insulations like Primaloft Gold, containing recycled materials. By carefully selecting materials and maintaining high production standards, Hestra ensures that its gloves are both sustainable and comfortable.
