ECCO Design Center
It all starts at ECCO’s Design Center. ECCO’s designers search for inspiration from many sources - from fashion, art, architecture, the car industry, and of course, they follow what is happening in society closely.
Danish Design Philosophy
Form follows function is the core principle of Scandinavian fashion. In essence, we believe function should be beautiful, and beauty should be functional. Scandinavian designers are famous for creating timeless appeal with sleek simplicity.
Inspired by Nature
Nature is important to most Scandinavians, both for leisure and sport -- and as a constant source of creative inspiration. Beautiful seasides, mountains, forests and our unique fjords are treasured features of our Nordic geography.
Beautiful Leathers
ECCO has been producing leather since 1986 and have a passion for what we do - and passion creates quality. We seek inspiration from fashion, color, texture - combined with simple design principles. The result - our leathers are rich and subtle, crafted in our own tanneries.
A Way of Life
At ECCO, we are inspired by nature. We believe form follows function. We strive for elegant simplicity and timeless style. For us, beauty comes not from decoration, but from purposeful elements: material, shape, color and the experience itself. At ECCO we apply this thinking to shoes. We use rich, supple and resilient leathers. We create classic shapes that outlast fashion and we consistently find ways to make our shoes softer, more flexible, and more capable of following the foot. We gravitate toward design that fuses utility with beauty. This is also how we try to live. We believe in pursuing every aspect of living with equal passion; work, love, family, creativity and friendship. Every day is another story.
