Eton

About Eton

Eton was founded by Annie and David Pettersson in Gånghester, Sweden in 1928. Since its inception, the company has solely been focused on making superior quality shirts. The company was early proven outside Sweden and the Nordic region, evident by its entrance into the United Kingdom in the 1950s. Eton has since grown with a highly reputable customer base comprising some of the world’s most exclusive department stores and retailers in Europe and North America. The expansion has accelerated during recent years, with the introduction of its own online store and selective openings of own brand stores. Eton is today serving its customers in more than 50 countries.
