History lesson anyone?

When I was in school I was really into the subject of history and especially the Nordic Mythology. Growing up in Sweden I guess that was something we had to learn about and I loved all the different stories about the good gods and their various battles against the not so nice ones. So it is rather funny now that one of our labels, Danefae gets their inspiration for their designs from those tales and other Nordic heritage characters.

This week we have welcomed Danefae's new collection that has as always great colour combos and striking prints. Check out the bright, multi striped Sleipner Tee for girls. Sleipner was Odins (the boss of all gods) eight legged horse. The Viking tee with Thor's hammer will for sure become a favourite with the boys. Thor was the god of thunder and lightning. He drove his carriage across the sky and that was what the humans heard as thunder, and when he banged his hammer lightning flashed. He certainly had a temper that Thor! This Viking tee made us laugh as he seems to be doing Yoga, hmmm not too sure if that was on the weekly schedule of a viking, but it is designed with humour which we love.
