Skolyx
Swedish Goodyear welt shoes, made by TLB Mallorca, Spain
Skolyx is both a retailer and an own brand. The Skolyx brand is made by TLB Mallorca in Inca (Mallorca). Skolyx also sells TLB Mallorca, Yanko and Midas under their own names. Fully transparent - TLB is listed as manufacturer on the site.
Philosophy
Founded around 2018, this Swedish label is made in Spain by TLB Mallorca. As Skoaktiebolaget's entry-level line, Skolyx combines TLB Mallorca build quality with clean Scandinavian design and highly competitive pricing, and r/goodyearwelt often describes it as one of the strongest value plays in the market.
History
Skolyx was launched by Skoaktiebolaget, the Swedish retailer focused on welted shoes, as an entry-level brand. Production is handled by TLB Mallorca in Inca, Mallorca. Toni Llobera Barcelo (TLB) comes from a Majorcan family of leather artisans.
The model is smart: Skolyx is both a retailer (it also sells TLB Mallorca, Yanko, and Midas) and a house label (made by TLB to Swedish specifications). The setup is fully transparent on the site, where TLB is explicitly listed as the manufacturer.
On r/goodyearwelt, Skolyx is a common pick for first GYW purchases. The consensus is clear: it is one of the best value-for-money options in its segment. Skolyx penny loafers are recommended in almost every "best loafer under $300" thread.
