Träskor are Swedish clogs typically made from alder, but sometimes birch or pine.{{sfn|Nordisk familjebok|1920}} Clogs are mainly manufactured in the southern part of the country, both as handicrafts and in factories. In 1905 there were 22 factories employing 241 people.{{sfn|Nordisk familjebok|1920}} One manufacturer is based in Vollsjö in Skåne; therefore, clogs for business use are branded "Vollsjö slippers." Other notable manufacturers of clogs include Lotta, Troentorp and Swedish Hasbeens.{{Cite web|last=Builder|first=Maxine|date=2019-06-27|title=These Swedish Clogs Look Just Like Hasbeens (for Half the Price)|url=https://nymag.com/strategist/article/best-swedish-hasbeens-dupe-lotta-from-stockholm.html|access-date=2020-09-29|website=The Strategist|language=en-us|archive-date=2020-09-20|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200920084829/https://nymag.com/strategist/article/best-swedish-hasbeens-dupe-lotta-from-stockholm.html|url-status=live}}{{Cite web|last=Doyle|first=India|title=Sweden's Most Fashionable Export?
