A new wave of Vikings

We've rushed into this year of plenty with a huge update of our Viking collection: what has started initially with a humble idea of "let's create a couple of simple Viking style tunics" now has grown into a vast collection of dozens of items in all the categories. Exclusive woolen tunics were sold out in no time:

Limited Graphite Wool Viking Tunic “Ragnvaldur the Traveller” Limited Green Wool Viking Tunic “Olegg the Mercenary”

An impressive range of armour collection development includes leather armours of three levels of beauty with same solid and trustworthy functionality however:

Three helmets of different aspects including the brand old weathered appearance:

Three new options to protect your limbs without sacrificing your manoeuvrability:

Two new shields to cover you and your fellow warrior:

Charming details of Spiderweb series

The "Spiderweb" dress is all about the details: to mention a few, look at the combination of different types of sackcloth, at the handmade embroidery and at the detachable sleeves' buttons finishing.

Snow White

Once upon a time the Snow White got tired of her old attire and look what she's got from ArmStreet! The chemise is as lightweight and as delicate as a spring wind or an early flowering while the upper skirt with an embed corset is a real masterpiece of pattern engineering.
