They’re crafted in western Sweden by jbro Vantfabrik, a small, independent manufacturer dedicated to preserving the heritage designs and patterns of Swedish woollen garments through beautiful pieces of ‘wearable art’. Many of the unique knitting patterns are associated with traditional provinces, customs and practices.

This design is inspired by Sweden’s rich cultural heritage and particularly the Futhark Thorbjrg, the runic alphabet of Old Norse. Using these Viking runes, jbro created the inscription, “We honour our cultural heritage”, which they then adapted into a beautiful pattern, augmented with a heritage colour scheme.

NOTE: These mittens run a bit big. If you’re on the cusp between two sizes, we suggest you choose the smaller size.

• Manufactured Locally - jbro Vantfabrik work closely with small, family-owned factories in Europe to produce high-quality apparel with a minimal carbon footprint

There are two reasons you’ll fall in love with jbro Vantfabrik’s gloves and socks. Firstly, this homely Swedish brand fuse their heritage into each design, incorporating traditional Sami patterns and cultural tales into their woolen garments. It’s a carefully considered design process that affords their garments a story as rich as the material they’re built from. Which leads into the second reason: they’re hella comfy.

The resulting apparel is ludicrously soft and comfortable, not to mention built to endure years of wear, designed to keep you warm no matter the conditions outside.
