It
began with a uniquely designed (and patented) Danish
clog, discovered by company founders Amanda Cabot
and Peter Kjellerup in a tiny shop in Denmark in
the late 1980's. This husband and wife team,
then professional horse trainers, flipped over their
discovery of the perfect barn shoe, and,
quite literally, put them through two years of acid-testing.
Extraordinarily comfortable, virtually indestructible,
and attractive
enough to wear almost anywhere, Mandy and Peter found these
to be the only shoes they ever wore. They secured the exclusive
rights to the stapled clog product line from Denmark, and Dansko,
Inc. was up and running in 1991. Pairs were shared, new
designs designed, new collections developed, the good word spread,
and within a few short years Dansko shoes were distributed in over
3,000 retail locations. |
