The very beginning

Antonio Fluxa, a skilled cobbler, returns to his native Mallorca from England after studying modern shoe production. He brings the island's first sewing machine and an irrepressible desire to innovate. In his hometown of Inca, Antonio sets up a small workshop, the first industrial shoe manufacturer in Mallorca.

The very beginning

01. Where it all begins 01. Where it all begins

Everything starts with Antonio Fluxa in 1877. Full of inspiration after expanding his shoemaking know-how and skills in England, he sets up a workshop in Inca, Mallorca, which evolves into a family business. The rest is history.

Camper, 50th Anniversary: Where it all begins (Fig. 1)

A Family Business

Antonio gathers craftspeople who also want to move with the times. Inspired by their Mediterranean home, they handcraft original shoes using the finest materials and the latest machinery. Tradition and craft with a human approach. Antonio’s son, Lorenzo, inherits his father’s enthusiasm for shoes, followed by his son, Lorenzo, who creates Camper in 1975, and his son, Miguel, in 2012. To this day, Camper is a family business.

Camper, 50th Anniversary: Where it all begins (Fig. 2)

Putting Mallorca on the map

In 1903, Antonio sets up a small workshop in Inca and later mechanizes the process “to produce Goodyear welt quality shoes,” recalls Lorenzo. “My father expanded the production and converted the workshop into one of the best shoe factories in Spain for high-quality traditional shoes.” The Fluxa family business grows, helping to kick-start Mallorca’s shoemaking industry and establish the island as a region renowned throughout Europe for quality footwear production.

Camper, 50th Anniversary: Where it all begins (Fig. 4)

1975, Camper is born

“In 1975, Spain recovered democracy after forty years, and in its wake came a storm of enthusiasm, freedom, and projects,” says Lorenzo, who officially founds Camper. “Casual footwear was unheard of in 1970s Spain, let alone unisex! We wanted to break with traditional typologies. That’s what we have been doing ever since—never perfect, but always a little better.”

Our Name and Logo

Lorenzo commissions a survey to choose a name for his new company. “Groovy” wins, with “Ranger” in second place, then “Camper”. He goes with the third, which means “peasant” in Mallorquín. Mediterranean, authentic, simple. Now the logo: the first designed by Alfonso Martí evolves into the instantly recognizable red and white Camper bridge by Carlos Rolando in 1981.

Our Mission: Walking with Purpose

‘Walk, Don’t Run’ starts as a 2001 campaign for The Walking Society and becomes our slogan, embodying the values of our slow Mediterranean lifestyle. The verb “to walk” has many meanings, all important to our philosophy. With our feet on the ground, we are always moving, progressing, improving, evolving, innovating. We want to create a playful and responsible walking experience that makes people smile.

02. Born and bred in the Med 02. Born and bred in the Med

Everything we do is rooted in where we’re from—Mallorca. The largest island in the Balearics and Spain is famously known for sun, sand, and shoes. You’ll find our headquarters in Inca, central Mallorca, an area known for shoemaking since the 13th century.

Camper, 50th Anniversary: Born and bred in the Med (Fig. 1)

Camper, 50th Anniversary: Born and bred in the Med (Fig. 2)

We’re from Mallorca

Our island home in the western Mediterranean has 500 kilometers of coastline, endless olive groves, and the dramatic Tramuntana mountains as a backdrop. We're forever connected to our land, traditions, and history. Camper means “peasant”, after all.

Walk Don’t Run. These three simple words sum up the way we live and look at life. We take it slow, taking everything in along the way.

We’re from the Mediterranean

In 2001, we launch The Walking Society campaign to celebrate the region we call home. The Med is our net. Network, that is. The Walking Society is a community open to everyone who wants to make the world a better place. The Walking Society Magazine is a tangible, visual extension of our ethos, traveling the islands of the Mediterranean to shine a light on local cultures, communities, and cool stuff.

Our Community

Camper is all about people who share a different way of walking through life. Starting with Antonio, who passes on his know-how from generation to generation, to those who have walked alongside us since the very beginning. From our creative directors, who steer our artistic vision, to the international collaborators we work with, everyone has played a role in making Camper what it is today—including you.

We’re a B Corp

In 2022, we become B Corp Certified, meeting the highest verified standards of social and environmental performance. But finding better ways to do business isn’t new for us. We’ve always been on a journey to do things a little better, combining decades of shoemaking heritage with a passion for creating long-lasting, responsible products. Now our positive commitment to people and the planet is official.

ReCamper

Our commitment to circularity offers services that help extend the life of our shoes, from cleaning and repairing to recycling, reusing, and refurbishing. Much of this takes place in our workshop, AKA “el taller” at Camper HQ. This fully functioning atelier is where our skilled team creates our ReCrafted collection, which transforms pre-worn, returned, and faulty Camper shoes into special editions.

Design Innovators

Going against the grain, breaking new ground. It’s what we’ve always done. We’re original forward-thinkers, backed by decades of expertise and it shows in our shoes. Imaginative and playful, our products represent the pinnacle of quality, comfort, materials, and durability. Because nothing’s more enduring—and sustainable—than quality. Unique, unconventional, unisex, and, ultimately, responsible, our shoes take creative and circular design to the next level. Let them do the talking.

ROKU - A modular shoe built by you. From first sketches to launch, ROKU is three years in the making. The name means “six” in Japanese and draws from the essence of Wabi, our 2000 style inspired by Japanese minimalism. This six-piece modular innovation is designed for assembly, disassembly, repair, recycling, and customizing to create infinite looks. Made from recycled parts you can repair or replace, ROKU is another contribution to a more circular economy.

Materials and Sustainability Innovation

Maximum durability, minimum impact. From materials to innovative concepts, our products are designed to last. We believe that maximizing quality is as important as minimizing impact on people and the planet—durability and sustainability go hand in hand, after all. Each season, we introduce and experiment with new and innovative designs and materials that last. And so does CAMPERLAB.

Tossu by CAMPERLAB - Designed to close the loop. Fall / Winter 2022 sees the launch of CAMPERLAB’s technical sneaker designed with a zero-waste approach. More than a sneaker, Tossu represents the future of design, where footwear is conceptualized with the end in mind. CAMPERLAB’s most circular footwear innovation to date is made in Spain using direct injection technology. All materials are polymer-based with a glue-free construction, making the sneaker fully recyclable, reducing carbon emissions throughout the supply chain.

Technological Innovation

Advanced performance for your feet. Each season, we partner with international industry leaders like Vibram, GORE-TEX, PrimaLoft®, and MICHELIN, which share our values of quality, durability, and innovation. Inhouse, we develop new technologies, like our advanced BRIDGE® XTRAGRIP outsole and HYDROSHIELD®, waterproof Camper technology made from recycled PET waste. Check out our Karst Trek, Brutus Trek, Drift Trail, and Peu Pista for high-tech performance.

Unisex and Inclusivity

Camaleón, our first-ever shoe, is unisex and almost all our collections since. From the beginning, we have wanted to create footwear that is accessible to everyone. A great example is our Kobarah, available for women and men—heels for all. This idea of genderlessness demonstrates our commitment to inclusivity and making shoes everyone can wear, irrespective of differences.

Kobarah - A circular shoe. In 2016, our mono-material heel is made to be remade, meaning it’s fully recyclable and circular. Conceived in a dream about snakes, which inspires the sculpted shape that wraps the foot, Kobarah is made with injection-molded EVA and XL EXTRALIGHT® Organix™ 3.0 with 30% bio-circular compounds. In 2022, Kobarah becomes fully unisex, available in extended sizes, and in 2024, the Kobarah Flat is born. Heels, and flats, for all.

“Camper’s retail universe is not about a single material, form, or color. It’s as rich and varied as the cities in which its stores currently operate. And just as colorful as its customers. Diversity makes Camper human.” Robert Thieman

Camper, 50th Anniversary: Our Stores (Fig. 1) — **Calle Muntaner, Barcelona 1981** Fernando Amat

‘Self-service’ is the concept of our very first store in the Spanish city where everything begins to grow. Fernando Amat devises this immersive shopping experience without formalities, where window displays of bags, boxes, and catalogs are a theatrical stage for our shoes to play the leading roles. Posters act like film promos, letting people know what's going on with Camper. Later, with the development of the Together project, the store interior also becomes the star.

Camper, 50th Anniversary: Our Stores (Fig. 2) — **Rue du Cherche-Midi, Paris 1992** Fernando Amat

The year that Barcelona hosts the Olympic Games, projecting a new image of Spain around the world, we open our first store outside of our home country. Located in the 6th arrondissement of the French capital, our retail space on rue du Cherche-Midi adapts Fernando Amat’s original store concept.

Way before pop-ups are a thing, Spanish designer Martí Guixé creates this temporary ‘Walk in Progress’ concept that makes use of our store during the redesign process. “Shops are tools of communication,” he explains. The space is stripped down to stacks of shoeboxes and a blank white wall for customers to write and draw on—in Camper red, of course. Doodles and scribbles reveal the mindset of the local youth.

We collaborate with creative thinkers in art, fashion, and architecture to dream up retail experiences that explore—and smash—the boundaries of contemporary design. Every store in every city worldwide has its own personality, much like our shoes.

A new Camper Together project sees our new store next to the Centre Pompidou designed by the Bouroullec Brothers. According to the French designers, the space can “produce special sensations: the red adds warmth, the textiles muffle sounds and give depth, and the household furniture confers an air of simplicity. Backstitched blankets partially cover the walls […] relatively bright colors contrast with the red tone that pervades the entire store.”

Brazilian design duo Fernando and Humberto Campana transform our new Manhattan store in a Camper Together collaboration. Their ‘transplastic’ concept, born during the brothers’ first trip to Mallorca, tells the fictional story of a world made of synthetic matter. Nature grows from the plastic, feeding off it and eventually overpowering it. All pieces are handcrafted with natural fibers in the designers’ native Brazil.

In Manhattan, he applies the same principle to the temporary roof of our new store. Inside, his bespoke furniture is reduced to a minimum to create space and light. Angled fin walls display the Camper logo, which reads as a complete word from one direction, but in broken letters from the other.

05. Our Visual Language 05. Our Visual Language

“Camper visuals convoke an eclectic range of contemporary mythical figures. […] The shoes are not only functional but become symbols of wandering in the meanders of our time. With regional nuances, witty tones, and the right dose of irony, Camperism speaks out to urbanites skeptical about the progressive standardization of cultural distinctions.” Joël Vacheron

06. Camperlab 06. Camperlab

As its name suggests, CAMPERLAB is a space for exploration and experimentation, not only within footwear design but also in Ready-to-Wear and accessories. In 2019, Achilles Ion Gabriel is appointed creative director to drive the brand’s artistic vision.

Romain Kremer

2015–2019

The French fashion designer is CAMPERLAB’s creative director until 2019. From reigniting Mugler menswear to Mallorca, Romain brings his space-age-rave aesthetic to the brand, designing stores and products that speak his visual language. The stores house a definitive selection of styles, including CAMPERLAB exclusives, with a soundtrack of garage, grime, and dubstep from Rinse FM France, the sister radio station of London’s Rinse FM.

Under Romain’s creative direction, the first CAMPERLAB store opens in Le Marais, Paris. Stores are a white canvas giving collaborators carte blanche to design the space, as though curating an exhibition at a gallery. Events during Paris Fashion Week are attended by the fashion crowd. From day one, the brand is inextricably linked to the world of fashion and as CAMPERLAB grows, stores open in New York and London.

Achilles Ion Gabriel

2020 to now

The Finnish-born designer is the creative director of CAMPERLAB, driving the brand’s artistic vision and trajectory. Fall / Winter 2020 marks his first collection and a new wave for the brand, joining the dots between craftsmanship and surrealism, newly interpreting the brand’s design aesthetic. CAMPERLAB defines itself through its unpredictable nature, subverting expectations and rewriting the rules of design.

CAMPERLAB pop-ups are an immersive experience of the brand’s universe. These ephemeral spaces showcase the collections and seasonal moods across the globe. Highlights include the 2022 pink vinyl takeover of the Camper Serrano store in Madrid during ARCO and the SS24 pop-up at Berlin’s Voo Space.

07. Ventures and Adventures 07. Ventures and Adventures

From the day Antonio sets up his small workshop in Inca, Camper flourishes into a world of creativity, with stores first in Barcelona then worldwide. We also branch out into other areas, from philanthropy and hotels to restaurants and the great outdoors.

Fundación Camper

Son Fortesa is a space open to ideas, creativity, education, and the study of culture, hosting workshops and talks by leading international figures. The Summer Workshop is a creative meeting point that has been held here regularly since its creation in 2009. Located in the Alaró valley in central Mallorca, Son Fortesa’s grounds date back to the early 16th century, with the building’s interior restored by Pritzker Prize-winning architect Rafael Moneo.

Casa Camper

Our boutique hotels in Barcelona and Berlin bring our spirit and values to the world of hospitality. Casa Camper Barcelona opens in 2005 in a 19th-century Gothic building in El Raval, designed by Fernando Amat and Jordi Tió, with a vertical garden, hammocks for siestas, and a green energy emphasis. The second hotel opens in Mitte, Berlin, in 2009, with a complimentary 24/7 Tentempié snack bar. Our casa is your casa.

Dos Palillos

In 2008, Camper and Albert Raurich, chef de cuisine at Ferran Adrià’s legendary El Bulli restaurant, embark on a new venture. Dos Palillos opens next to Casa Camper Barcelona, its name meaning “two sticks” to symbolise the journey from plate to mouth. The concept is Asian-style plates fused with the Spanish tapa philosophy, earning a Michelin star.

Camper FoodBALL

It isn’t a bar and it isn’t a restaurant—FoodBALL is a food and a way of looking at culture. FoodBALL is creative, simple, light, and natural. It is a food based on rice balls and condiments, served in natural and biodegradable wrappers. The first FoodBALL opens in Barcelona’s Ciutat Vella in 2005 with an interior designed by Martí Guixé and closes in 2008.

Camper, 50th Anniversary: Ventures and Adventures (Fig. 5)

Camper Goods

In 2021, we launch a curated collection of high-quality, functional objects, homeware, and decor that bring joy to daily rituals. Under the motto “Good tools for a good life”, Goods offers industrial design classics, Mediterranean handicrafts, and Camper-exclusive creations. On this new adventure, we celebrate innovative design and the simple Mediterranean lifestyle that has defined us since the beginning.

Camper, 50th Anniversary: Ventures and Adventures (Fig. 6)

NNormal

In 2022, Camper and Kilian Jornet blaze a new trail with NNormal, a new outdoor sportswear brand. We partner with the world-renowned mountaineer and trail runner on a performance range designed and tested between the shores of Mallorca and the fjords of Norway. NNormal’s products reflect our shared philosophy: to inspire people to enjoy and respect nature. Timeless gear that’s built to last, functional, and performance-oriented.

50 YEARS YOUNG

For 50 years, we’ve been evolving.
Here’s to the next half-century of making shoes to keep walking.
