Welcome to the HOOFDA Swedish Dala Horse Collection, a tribute to the rich cultural heritage of Sweden and a celebration of the iconic symbol of Swedish craftsmanship, the Dala Horse.
The Dala Horse, or 'Dalahäst,' has been a beloved symbol of Sweden for centuries, dating back to the 17th century. Originally crafted as toys for children, these wooden horses quickly became emblematic of Sweden and its tradition of woodcarving. Today, the Dala Horse is an internationally recognized icon, carrying within its simple form the heart of Swedish heritage and craftsmanship.
Our collection honors this iconic symbol in two distinct ways. First, we offer a traditional Dala design that stays true to the original painting style, celebrating the charm and history of the Dala Horse in its authentic form.
And for those who appreciate a unique twist, we offer our Artsy Dala design. Despite initial reservations that the design may stray too far from the traditional, our Artsy Dala has become one of our top sellers, appreciated by both Swedish and non-Swedish customers alike. This modern rendition of the Dala Horse honors the classic while bringing a fresh, artistic spin to this beloved symbol.
Both our traditional and Artsy Dala designs are screen printed onto our soft, high-quality fabrics, offering a wearable piece of art that not only celebrates heritage but also ensures comfort and style.
With the HOOFDA Swedish Dala Horse Collection, you get more than just clothing. You carry a piece of Swedish history and a unique artistic vision, all while enjoying the comfort and durability of our apparel. Immerse yourself in the rich tradition and contemporary artistry of our Dala Horse designs today!
