Peko by Rodea? Haven’t heard of them yet? Well, they’re just a rebranded, legendary shoes brand which I grew up with. I remember vividly going to the Peko store together with my mom and getting all excited about trying on and buying a pair of shoes.
I also remember that back then, Peko shops staff were the best, the most kindest, knowledgable and helpful ladies which always made me feel like “I matter” and that I’m not just a kid getting a pair of whatever shoes but that I’m a little human worthy of a nice, comfortable and well made pair of shoes.
As I’ve been living in Finland for the past 11 years, I haven’t been that much going to Peko and in the meanwhile it had changed the name into Peko by Rodea. I was bit confused by the name change and wanted to check out the shops and see if it’s still the same Peko as I remembered it or if it’s a completely new company.
