They’re crafted in western Sweden by Öjbro 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 Thorbjörg, the runic alphabet of Old Norse. Using these Viking runes, Öjbro created the inscription, “We honour our cultural heritage”, which they then adapted into a beautiful pattern, augmented with a heritage colour scheme.

- Manufactured Locally - Öjbro Vantfabrik work closely with small, family-owned factories in Europe to produce high-quality apparel with a minimal carbon footprint
- Sustainability Through Longevity - By creating durable, hard-wearing gloves, socks and mittens, Öjbro Vantfabrik’s products last for years and can be repaired when worn down
There are two reasons you’ll fall in love with Öjbro 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.
Each pair of gloves and socks that Öjbro Vantfabrik produce is crafted from premium wool sourced from ethical farmers and manufactured in eco-friendly factories. 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.
