A large Norwegian eight-petal rose in front hints to snow crystals and winter sports. Yet, some of the design inspiration comes from a somewhat different arena: The way the eight-petal rose and its additional details are arranged is inspired by traditional Norwegian bridal jewelry. 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. 

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.
