Behind The Tarvas Explorer

When Tarvas initially drafted their iconic Tarvas silhouette, the goal was to create a shoe that is resistant to unpredictable weather conditions that comes in Finland whilst remaining stylish enough for the city streets of Helsinki. Drawing inspiration from the enduring Nordic climate and its timeless fashion, a collective of footwear experts converged in Helsinki meticulously developing and refined a footwear silhouette. Their guiding principle: if it thrives in this environment, it's bound to excel anywhere.

From inception, their commitment remained unwavering - to create shoes that epitomize authenticity and premium quality, ensuring durability, aesthetics, and utmost comfort. Achieving perfection demanded meticulous attention to detail, prompting the creation of numerous prototypes within their basement workshop. After rigorous refinement, everything fell into place, culminating in the joyous unveiling of the inaugural batch of Tarvas footwear to the global market in 2017.
