The Dale of Norway 2017 – 2018 Winter Fashion Collection is a great marriage between fashion and Norwegian heritage. And speaking of heritage, this isn’t some made up brand. There is a very real village of Dale and it is nestled between beautiful steep mountains, waterfalls and fjords on the west coast of Norway. In 1879, the historic textile factory was established in this valley with easy access to wool, strong knitting traditions, and a great supply of natural power from the local waterfalls. Since then, Dale of Norway has developed stunning designs in premium qualities that are well-known worldwide.

From raw wool to finished products, Dale of Norway’s knitwear has been fine-tuned with 130 years of experience.Due to its cold winters, Norway has a long tradition of wool and knitwear with beautiful traditional patterns mostly been inspired by nature or history. Dale of Norway has developed its own famous designs, and redesigned age-old Norwegian patterns.
