Valkyries are mythological figures from Norse mythology often associated with the god Odin. They are described as warrior women who ride through the air on their winged horses and collect fallen warriors on the battlefield to escort them to Valhalla, a great hall where fallen heroes are welcomed in the afterlife.
Valkyrie dress
The Brida dress flows widely and has short sleeves.
Chainmail shirt
The chainmail shirt is short, allowing optimal freedom of movement for running, jumping and horseback riding.
Belt
The wide belt is not just decorative – you can hang small bags and weapons from its rings. It also provides extra protection for your belly.
Fur collar
The red tones of the fur collar really stand out thanks to the neutral colour palette of the rest of the outfit.
Vambraces
The vambraces are decorated with a vegvísir, supposedly a symbol to guide the way. The symbol as we know it today appears to date from a period long after the Viking Age.
Axe
Small, lightweight axes are ideal as throwing axes and can be easily concealed. The axe comes with leather straps for improved grip.
Make-up
With such epic outfits, we often use make-up and fake blood to add an extra narrative element. You can keep it as simple or as elaborate as you like!
