Inheritance isn’t just materialistic things we pass on from generation to generation. Inheritance also tells us about where we come from and the culture our ancestors carried.

The Sami cultural heritage is rich in many ways, and this particular sweater is inspired by Sami woven bands used in the Sami national costume: the gákti / kofta.
