Stockholm 2005, two childhood friends’ mutual love of vintage fashion fuelled the pair to start a vintage import company. Their travels to England, Scandinavia and the East coast of the United States would be spent scouring vintage warehouses where thousands of garments and accessories were recycled each year. Back in Sweden, outfitted with one-of-a-kind bags, clothing and accessories, they together resold these pieces to high end boutiques and denim stores across Sweden.

At the end of 2010, the idea for Enter Accessories was born- a brand inspired by vintage utility wear, army bags and work and sportswear dating back as far as the early 20th century.
