Viking caftan Skadi, wool blend, black

Product description

The Birka cloak finds its origin in the Viking Age and is named after the historical settlement Birka in Sweden. Birka was an important trading place, and the garments found there show high quality in textile production. The Vikings were known for their skills in textile processing and embroidery, often using natural materials such as wool and linen. Their clothing was functional but also decorative and indicated the high status of the wearer in society.

This Viking caftan Skadi is an excellent replica of a historical garment from the Viking Age. Made from a high-quality wool blend, this cloak offers both warmth and authentic historical elegance. The wood buttons on the front add a rustic and traditional touch. The simple cotton trim that adorns the cloak creates a beautiful color contrast. A special detail is the extensive hand embroidery in the original Urnes style, located at the neck — named after the Urnes stave church in Norway and popular in the late Viking Age (11th century). This embroidery gives the cloak a distinctive identity and showcases the impressive craftsmanship of the Viking Age.

The Viking caftan Skadi is ideal for historical re-enactments and LARP events, but also for anyone looking for a unique garment with historical flair. Care instructions: steam.
