🏷️ What brand is Camper?
Camper is a Spanish footwear brand founded in 1975 by Lorenzo Fluxà on the island of Mallorca — but its history goes back much further. In 1877, Antonio Fluxà, Lorenzo’s grandfather, travelled to England to learn modern industrial manufacturing methods, returned to Mallorca and set up the island’s first automated shoe factory. As the heir to this ancestral expertise, Lorenzo Fluxà founded Camper in 1975 with the ambition of combining traditional craftsmanship with contemporary design. In 1981, the first Camper boutique opened in Barcelona, marking the start of an international expansion that has taken the brand to over 40 countries today. The name Camper comes from ‘campesino’ (peasant in Spanish), a tribute to the brand’s Mediterranean and rural roots. Awarded the Spanish National Design Prize in 1998, Camper has become a global benchmark for characterful footwear, striking a balance between bold design, comfort and authenticity.
👟 Which Camper models are the most iconic?
Over the decades, Camper has created a handful of models that have become true icons. The Pelotas, launched in 1995 and nicknamed “the golfer’s shoe” in reference to the small rubber studs dotting its sole, is the brand’s most famous model — so widely copied by its competitors that it has become an undisputed benchmark of casual chic comfort. The Peu is a shoe with distinctive exposed stitching and supple leather that has become a symbol of Camper’s identity. The Beetle stands out for its highly recognisable, rounded and generous silhouette. The Twins range features shoes that are intentionally different for the right and left feet — a creative and playful concept that is very characteristic of the Camper spirit. The Brutus is the brand’s urban casual staple for men.
💡 Good to know: Camper regularly develops the "Together" project — collaborations with renowned designers, artists and architects who transform shoes into little works of art. These limited editions are highly sought after by collectors and design enthusiasts.
🎨 What is the style of Camper shoes?
The Camper aesthetic is hard to pigeonhole — that is precisely what sets it apart. The brand cultivates a minimalist design tinged with originality and humour, a form of laid-back sophistication that rejects conventional fashion codes. Camper shoes combine sometimes generous, rounded shapes with unexpected details — exposed stitching, surprising colour combinations, deliberate asymmetries — which make them instantly recognisable. Inspired by Mediterranean culture and Mallorcan craftsmanship, Camper has built a strong visual identity through collaborations with international designers, graphic artists and architects. The brand appeals equally to design-conscious city dwellers and those who prioritise everyday comfort.
📏 Are Camper sizes true to size?
Camper shoes generally follow standard European sizes. Some models with a generous, rounded shape — such as the Pelotas or the Beetle — offer more space in the forefoot and may appear wider than other brands of the same size, which is appreciated by those with wide feet. More structured models made from supple leather fit true to size. Camper provides a size guide on its official website with measurements in centimetres to help you choose, as well as a free returns service that allows you to order risk-free if you’re unsure between two sizes.
💡 Tip: for leather styles such as the Peu, the natural leather will stretch slightly with wear and mould to the shape of your foot — if you’re unsure between two sizes, choose the smaller one rather than the larger one for this type of style.
🌿 Is Camper committed to the environment?
Yes, a commitment to sustainability is deeply rooted in Camper’s values. The brand uses leather certified by the Leather Working Group, which guarantees responsible practices in tanneries, as well as recycled fabrics and bio-based materials to reduce its environmental footprint. Production is largely concentrated in Europe — notably in Inca, Mallorca, where the Fluxà family’s shoemaking tradition has been passed down through generations. Camper has launched the “Take Back” programme, which allows customers to return their old, worn-out Camper shoes to the shop in exchange for a credit note, thereby promoting recycling and the circular economy. Designing durable shoes, built to last for several years, is also a core commitment of the brand.
