Sebago collaborations

Docksides® are “a la mode”

ontrendSince 1946, Sebago has defined quintessential American style. Unwaivering in their commit-ment to quality materials, fine detailing, and handsewn crafts-manship, their passion for au-thentic, quality footwear has al-lowed them to weather fleeting trends to create truly timeless design. Emerging fashion and design collective, Vane has been at the vanguard of downtown

style. With intelli-gent, iconic de-sign and modern c r a f t m a n s h i p, they have rapidly attracted a global cult following for their unique, lim-ited-run garments and hand-crafted

jewelry and accessories. Limited to no more than 360 pairs per style for both Men’s and Wom-en’s, Vane for Sebago represents a downtown vision of the iconic Docksides® silhouette, reimag-ined for the cosmopolitan con-sumer of culture and style. Stay-ing true to Sebago’s rich heritage of quality and craftsmanship, Vane offers a sophisticated and unique interpretation of a time-less classic.

Sebago Docksides® will be cel-ebrating its 40th anniversary in 2010 and to commemorate the occasion the brand is collaborat-ing with the premier boutique in Paris, Colette, with a Sebago x Colette Docksides®. The project is headed up by La MJC who created special makeups, each limited to forty pairs worldwide and will only be sold at Colette. One design is even more spe-cial with each pair having been dipped into paint by Jack Spade, making all of them individual.

P assion is a word that crops up quickly and of-ten in any conversation with Sebastian Swett. The 39 year-old has a passion for selling, a passion for life – and a passion for shoes.

All three come together in his work as chief operating officer for Forus, the retailing and distribution company based in Santiago, Chile.

Sebastian has worked for Forus for many years and his love for his job bubbles over into every aspect of his life. “I give my work all the time that it needs,” he says. “All day every day, if necessary. I just want to go on making things better and making things dif-ferent.”

Forus has built its success on an unerring grasp of the brands most likely to appeal to its customers all over South America. The range on offer is wide, the image varying, but the emphasis on quality is always paramount.

Two years ago, Sebago joined that thoroughbred stable. With characteristic entrepreneurial flair, Se-bastian instinctively recognized that people with style would love these finely-crafted yet instantly recogniz-able shoes.

“What you get when you buy Sebago is instant ac-cess to an authentic heritage,” he says. “People who love quality, love the water, love the sea, they get eve-rything they could possibly want from this brand.”

There it is; that passion again. In Sebastian’s hands, selling Docksides® becomes more than a simple transaction. It has been a means to introduce the en-tire marine style to South America.

His dream is “to make people happy” and he con-fesses that he is inspired by people who can change the world – “the people who make life more full of fun and love.” Sebastian’s skill is to do exactly that, both in his life with family and friends – and in his profession as a fulfilled and impassioned salesman.

f or 40 years brothers Francisco and Jacinto Gaudier have lovingly tended to the family business, watching Comercial Importadora GAFA, S.A. grow steadily and consistently under their stewardship.

For 40 years, too, Sebago has been a key brand. The Gaudiers were the first to bring it to Europe, and even now they rely on it, says Francisco, 61, for its capacity to promote “regular sales” alongside the shoes they design and make to stock in stores across Spain and Portugal.

The Gaudiers are pragmatists with vision. Each day they go to work dreaming of sales figures in each of their stores, and they are driven by their determina-

tion to make their business thrive. Their key qualities as individuals are constancy, patience – and a liking for order. Their personal taste, they laugh, is “rather for-mal”; their free time, when they have any, is spent with

their families and divided between cultural and sport-ing activities.

The GAFA style is exclusive, tailor-made. In this context, it is the tradition of Sebago that appeals to them; the hand-stitched, leather-lined craftsmanship of a shoe that has a great history, the fit and comfort of a loafer that is never out of fashion. It is a brand that speaks of civilization and culture as well as the great outdoors – a perfect match for the men who distribute it.

Their customers are mainly executives, who understand the same values. “We don’t have to sell them Sebago,” says Jacinto, 58, “they know why they buy them.” And the Gaudier brothers know why they sell them.

“He was one of the greatest men I have ever known.” That’s how Bård Spilling describes his mentor and business partner, Lars Uster-ud-Svendsen, a friend of the Wellehan family and, in 1971, the first man to import Sebago

into Norway.Some twenty years later the two men set up a com-

pany and when Lars died of cancer in 1997 Bård took over the business – and his old friend’s belief in the products they were selling.

“Sebago is a mega-brand,” he says, enthusiastically. “One of the few real ones, not just something created by some smart marketing guy. The potential is enormous.”

His firm Aqua Terra AS has just opened its first Sebago brand store in Nor-way, with shoes, clothing and accessories. “The inspi-ration is New England Lifestyle: heritage, craftsman-ship, quality in every aspect. In the next five years we will open more stores and aim to triple the business of today.”

For Bård, 41, it is the marine aspect of Sebago that most appeals. And he lives the life that he sells. Work and leisure dovetail perfectly for a man who de-scribes himself as sociable and impatient, and whose dream day off is skiing in the winter or sailing in warm weather with family and friends.

But even a regatta is an opportunity to preach the merits of Sebago. He is positively evangelical about the quality and classic beauty of the brand, and sells it with a zeal that is worthy of his hero Ralph Lauren.

“I never sell a product,” he says. “I sell a concept. Sebago is perfect for men and women, boys and girls aged between 15 and 85, living close to the sea. Or wishing they did. When you are wearing Sebago, you tell the world who you are.”

And Bård Spilling, wearing Docksides® for their look and comfort, is a very happy man, doing exactly what he was born to do. n
