The brand founded by Johan Lindeberg in 1996 was born out of an idea to inject style and energy to golf by changing how players all over the world dress on and off the course.   Today, J.Lindeberg has grown into a fashion and sports brand with a worldwide presence, offering innovative pieces within fashion,
golf, ski, tennis, outdoor and more.
