Abacus Sportswear’s brand ethos encapsulated its Swedish roots, combining quality and function to produce smart, technical clothing for the active golfer. The Story Abacus Sportswear was founded by Sven-Olof Karlsson and Ingrid Lindgren-Wachtmeister in 1991. Starting as clothing agents working with different brands, they quickly identified a gap in the market for golf apparel that combined function, design and quality. The mission was to do functional and smart clothing for the active golfer.
