Fjällsport har sålt Sten hela tiden sen starten 2014. För någon vecka sedan när vi pratade kom Padde på den fantastiska idéen att låta alla kritpåsar få ett unikt namn efter en göteborgs-boulder. Från och med idag kommer alla kritpåsar ha ett unikt namn. Här kritpåse Partybandaren efter en av Hönös klassiska svårslabbar. Finns att köpa hos Fjällsport.

Så glad att kritpåsen hittat rätt igen! Trevligt sändande!
Repost from @herrsorbrand … This used to be my old climbing jeans. Now, thanks to @stenclimbing , it’s a really nice crafted chalkbag. My first impression are satisfying, lightweight, easy functions and don’t leak chalk! 📷 from yesterdays evening climbing in expected colder temps. My skin didn’t like +20 degrees.

Good friend @herrsorbrand shows his new and old Sten-brush in front of the classic sandbagged Bobo. Thanks a million for the image and HAPPY SENDING to all of you!This post was automatically imported from Instagram 2019-10-10.
A huge bonus with making bags and hats is that I’ve really learned to sew.
Fixing broken things quick and good looking feels good. Yesterday my daughter’s winter hat, this past weekend @herrmister broken bike bag. On a sewing machine from the 50s that I’ve also restored :) Recommend you all to learn!
Have a fantastic weekend and hope you’ll be happy sending / mending!This post was automatically imported from Instagram 2019-10-10.
We are working on opening the store for all EU countries. For now send us an e-mail if you are ordering from outside Sweden.
The inspiration picture (above) is from the beautiful Swedish west coast (archipelago) that also happens to be a boulder paradise. Imagine climbing slabs in the warm summer nights when the sun sets over the sea… I miss it as soon as I’m leaving. Luckily it’s not more than an hour away from central Gothenburg.
Thanks to Märta for sewing and to Mats for the garment! If you too have old worn out jeans you would like to have up-cycled to a bag please write to us!
Thanks for the overwhelming response to our new Sten boulder bag! A boulder chalk bag made in Sweden from re-used old jeans. The first bags where shipped last week and from what I’ve seen on Facebook they have come to use already :)
When you order you can write if want a dark, light, black or mixed bag and we’ll make our best to match it. For now you’ll have to order via the contact form then I’ll send you a photo of the bag before you’ll get the payment info.
I’ve been working so hard for this and finally the Sten boulder bag is DONE! A boulder bag made by old denim jeans, waxed with bees wax and paraffin to keep dirt out and the chalk in. It’s hand made in Sweden.
We believe in reuse. The jeans on the picture here is a pair that I inherited from a friend 17 years ago. You can send your old worn out favorite jeans to me and I’ll make them into a bag. If you are interested in that please contact me. Of course you can also have me select the fabric for you. We’ll probably have other materials available later as well. If you have any preferences in color, wash or fabrics please let me know. We are not totally done with the pricing yet but are guessing on 500 SEK including one Sten boulder brush.
The bags are made by hand in our own studio in Sweden and we are really proud to make that work. Making our own products is new to us so expect delivery times to be a couple of weeks. We’ll work on that and learn to be more efficient as we go, please bear with us for now.
Sewing the boulder bag was meant to be the first product for Sten. I mean, how hard can it be? Really hard, as it turned out. Luckily the boulder brush was easier. When I started I didn’t know anything about making patterns or producing. It has been a steep learning curve and my attempts have been like a roller coaster. One day I felt like a genius, the next not so much.
Many people have helped make this product possible. Thanks to all you. A special extra mega warmest thanks goes to Sofia, Johanna, Fredrik, Mikaela, Dagny, Ea and Padde. You are the best!
Happy sending!
P.S. We are glad for all feedback so please share with us!
We’ve made some improvements since the first version. Generally we avoid using version numbers for our products as we see it more as they evolve naturally during time.
To clarify we’ll describe the updates that the Bamboo boulder brush has gotten.
As you can see it’s the same brush and bristle with minor improvements. The current version is the more rounded one.
We’ve gotten some feedback that the edge of the brush sometimes hit the rock when brushing. We improved it by grinding the corners off.
We’ve also made the edges a bit softer to hold by sanding them of. They also fit easier to a smaller chalk bag now.
That’s all for now and don’t hesitate to write to us if you have ideas!
