A large Norwegian eight-petal rose in front hints to snow crystals and winter sports. Stripes and contrasting colors add dynamics to this sporty design. Yet, some of the design inspiration comes from a somewhat different arena: traditional Norwegian bridal jewelry. The inspiration can be found in the way the eight-petal rose and its additional details are arranged. Those bridal jewelry called “brudedaler”, a kind of hybrid between pendant jewelry and a brooch, was originally given as an engagement gift. They marked the bride’s transition from single to married and were believed to protect the bride and her future children from harm and evil spirits. We cannot say our sweater possess such powers, but it will protect its bearer from nature’s raw and harsh weather conditions.

The name “Veskre” comes from Veskrehorgi, one of the mountains in the Norwegian skiing paradise of Voss. And naturally, the bridal jewelry inspiring the design of this sweater also comes from Voss.
