I really wanted an authentic Icelandic sweater and so finding the perfect one was a priority for me when we arrived in Iceland. We first tried looking in one or two of the more 'standard' tourist shops in Reykjavik and I was a bit disappointed by the selection available there. Then we happened upon this little gem of a shop. The sweaters that they stock are hand knitted and so even though they are marked as small or medium or large, etc. they still come out in slightly different shapes and sizes and colour and pattern variations and you do have to try a few on to find the right one, but I now have my own perfect Icelandic sweater (which, even in August, came in surprisingly handy as we went on to travel around the west side of the country!). This really is a beautiful, unique and very practical memento of my trip.…

I love my 'Northern Lights' cardigan that I bought from this friendly quaint shop in downtown Reykjavik. Feel like I have carried the Aurora Borealis home on my shoulders! Helpful staff, some volunteer. Profits go to local charitable projects. Authentically Icelandic.

A very nice place!

I liked the packaging, not a simple bag but a real fabric bag, beautiful) They care about the environment ❤️…

When I saw a model I really liked, they contacted the knitter for me and she made it personally for me. Of course, I currently live in Iceland so I had time to wait. Nonetheless, they are very friendly and will do anything to help you. The colors of the sweaters (design) are also more original than in other stores. Moreover, all profits go to charity!…
