At Tarvas, the common thread is to design products that support every millimeter of your travels. Whether those wanderings take you into nature or inward in spirit. Or, most often, at the intersection of your inner and outer journeys. Withstanding all types of climates with style, Tarvas products are functional and give you the peace you need to focus on what you enjoy. At Exception, we believe in these values, so freedom and sharing will be the key words for your next adventure with us. Based in Helsinki, Finland, Tarvas has firm roots in the city, but the brand always stays close to nature. The shoes are locally produced - it's a combination of a basement workshop in the city and a rural factory in the woods. The forest inspires us. Nature brings clarity and keeps you in touch with yourself. The body is active and the mind rests. Among the wildlife, we also feel the presence of our spirit animal, the ancient Tarvas moose, who taught us that you can both care for the herd and stay true to your path.
