Keep it long, treasure it long.

Love the patterns based on tradition

There are many different materials for gloves like suede, wool, and leather, but now that you are an adult, there are gloves that you want to wear it cool, or casually. Among them, all-patterned knitted gloves are reminiscent of a girl's crush. The warm-looking appearance, the adorable feeling of knit, the cute pattern drawn and the story behind it are the points.

Learn the background of traditional Swedish patterns

Introducing the wool mittens from Ojbro Vantfabrik. As a designer, Ase is interested in the traditional culture of Scandinavian countries, and has a passion for interpreting and communicating traditional patterns of each region, village and family unit according to the present age. The background of the pattern created by Ojbro Vantfabrik is all about its own story, and I hope that you can feel the different lives of different regions by telling them about it.
There are four types of wool mittens to be introduced at ZUTTO.

Dalarna
Dalarna is located in central Sweden and is said to be the spiritual home of Swedes. The designer Åse used red, which symbolizes the Dalarna region, to create a pattern with a traditional horse motif that “brings happiness” and the Krvitz pattern, which is traditional in this region.

Scafte Ivory
Skafte, an island in the Swedish Archipelago, has a long history as a fishing village, which developed through herring fishing in the 18th century. It is a simple design with a traditional pattern handed down by fishermen on the wrist.

Lütkesele.
The Lütke Sele was inspired by a pattern from the Sami, a minority tribe in the Arctic Circle of Northern Europe. The colors used in this pattern are traditional Sami colors.

Yggdrasil.
Inspired by the Yggdrasil tapestry, which is considered an important cultural asset in Europe. This unique motif depicts Norse legends, ancient rituals, and weddings.

All the wool mittens have a four-layer structure, and you can feel the warmth and durability. Please choose for birthday presents and Christmas presents for women.

Approach to sustainable fashion

Sustainability is what Ojbro Vantfabrik values ​​in manufacturing. We believe that it is valuable because it is made with gentle materials and manufacturing methods that have no impact on people or the natural environment.

Of particular importance is the use of merino wool that has not been mulesed. Mulesing is a technique for efficiently removing wool from sheep, but has recently been criticized for its cruelty. We express our gratitude for protecting and benefiting from sheep by using wool that does not do that.

In addition to that, we are promoting manufacturing in cooperation with producers and manufacturers who share ethics about labor conditions, animal husbandry, and environmental impact.

Slow, but that's fine

Based on traditional culture, Ojbro Vantfabrik is focused on creating “slow fashion” products that can be used for a long time, both from the perspective of design and quality. Founded in 1984, it is a family-run brand that begins with the creation of gloves to overcome the cold. Originally a manufacturer that received orders from manufacturers, Ose, the current owner and designer, uses traditional Scandinavian patterns on gloves and socks and wants to inherit the stories of those patterns in 2013. Started as a brand.

Wool gloves can be patched and repaired even if they have holes. Fix it yourself and use it for a long time. It seems to tell me that it is the most natural and it should be.

A brand that never shows itself as an eco-brand, but that shows us such guidelines that the base of manufacturing has a natural environment and care and action for people involved. I have a concept.
