Mahogany smooth leather derbies
KLEMAN x Forest
THE STORY OF A MEETING
The birth of a collaboration
Forét's story began in 2014 in the heart of Denmark, when two childhood friends, Jeppe and Jesper, decided to found a brand dedicated to simple and functional fashion, in perfect harmony with nature. Their creations are imbued with a desire to slow down, to reconnect with what truly matters, far from the frenzy of everyday life. This "slow down" spirit resonates with KLEMAN's DNA, which is committed to creating robust and timeless shoes.
Shared values:
slow fashion, authenticity and sustainability
The Forét x KLEMAN collaboration finds its essence in a shared vision: a blend of utilitarian style and relaxed elegance. Both brands share the same enthusiasm for workwear heritage, which they reinterpret through unisex, raw, and authentic pieces.
THE MAJOR DERBY REINVENTED
A unique collaboration
signed Forét x KLEMAN
The MAJOR FORET, the result of an exclusive collaboration, is a reinterpretation of a flagship KLEMAN model. With the MAJOR derby, Forét offers a fresh take on classic workwear. Made in France using premium European leathers, this shoe stands out for its refined design and impeccable finish.
The combination of waxed suede and grained leather, subtly nuanced with autumnal colors, creates a unique sense of depth. The ecru lacing, combined with eyelets and hooks, adds a touch of freshness.
SLOW DOWN SPIRIT
The genuine rubber sole, in clay color, offers a striking contrast and ensures optimal comfort, whatever the conditions.
Finally, the words "slow" and "down," subtly embossed on the leather loops, along with the green back zipper pull, reflect Forét's philosophy: taking your time and appreciating the simple things in life. This detail underscores the attention to detail and the unique identity of this model.

FULL LOOK
From head to toe,
Embrace the Forét x KLEMAN spirit
To complete this iconic look, we co-created a timeless aesthetic clothing capsule collection with Forét.
The trousers and overshirt, made from soft and durable organic cotton, offer unparalleled comfort.
Quality and durability
The meticulous details, such as the tone-on-tone corduroy pockets and the upcycled leather jacquard badge bearing the KLEMAN and FORÉT logos on the back of the trousers, reflect our commitment to quality and sustainability. The overshirt, meanwhile, is enhanced by a chain-link "SLOW DOWN" embroidery on the back, a subtle reminder of the importance of taking one's time.
Together, these pieces create an outfit that is both elegant and casual, perfectly matching the MAJOR FORET derbies.
