Warm Viking Tunic "Hilda the Epic"
Soft woolen tunic with trim and accents
Picture the Viking life set against the backdrop of North Sea coasts, chilly winds, and grand fjords. Vikings constructed their abodes amidst serene forests, with these spaces being large: longhouses, boathouses, and roundhouses. Shielded by wooden walls, yet still facing the cold, they relied on wool, especially sheepskin, to stay warm. A central hearth served both as a source of warmth and an oven for meals. Viking women held sway over household matters in this society – not that common in European countries back then.
Imagine the shield maidens, resilient women warriors who braved the North winds and battles or tended Viking farms along the coast. Their daily lives demanded sturdy, comfortable attire, such as T-shaped tunics with broad sleeves tapering to the wrists. Our take on this tradition retains its practicality but adds some extras, like a wide skirt that gracefully sweeps the ankles. Or, like the unique trim by ArmStreet in two widths doubled with contrasting accents along the hem, neckline, and cuffs.
Our tunic is crafted from high-quality Italian natural wool and stands resilient against the Northern winds. It is very soft and warm and drapes nicely to create a simple yet prominent silhouette. Paired with a belt, earrings, and necklaces, this ensemble transforms you into a Viking figure, ready for battles and routines alike.

The dress is gorgeous and would have been perfect if the sleeves would have been 1.5" longer.
