We've just released a new line to celebrate not only our official store launch, but the the 4th of July as well. Each iteration is made of combed cotton for optimum fit, breathability and comfort and emblazoned with our popular crown and star insignia.

After the long dark winter, Swedes celebrate the summer solstice and the arrival of the midnight sun! We eat, drink, sing, eat, drink, dance and drink some more! Midsummer traces its roots to old pagan times and medieval observers of the Nordic Peoples recorded: "they gather in throngs on town squares or out in the fields to cheerfully enter in dance". Through the ages, traditions and superstitions surrounding this celebration include saving your midsummer wreath until Christmas and soaking it in your bath as well as rolling around naked in the midsummer day dew -- both for health, of course! Watch "Swedish Midsummer for Dummies" above to learn how to celebrate today. GLAD MIDSOMMAR!
These handmade bracelets, made of genuine 7-strand 550 paracord and 316L stainless steel hardware now available at our online shop. New colorways coming this month, stay tuned! (Pictured above clockwise from top left: Denim, 'Eye Candy' Neon Orange, Hunter Green, Red)

We may have a map and a compass-like mind
Let's ask anyway, what we're trying to find
One may be a fantastic detective
but asking directions gives a different perspective
The locals know what's what and what's not
maybe that bar isn't really our kind of hot...
Using all our incredible senses
is not among life's biggest offenses
Let's put the smartphone away
and wonder about, just stray
Explore and experience more!
Isn't that what we're all here for?
