Baby Seal Suit by Vík Prjónsdóttir - Vík Prjónsdóttir is a creative brand that specializes in creating quality knitted products from Icelandic sheep’s wool. This wool is unique as it’s not only made in one of the oldest knitting factories in Iceland, it also has a  combination of fibers that makes it a light-weight, warm and water-repellent fabric. The idea behind the shape of this warm lil suit comes from and old myth from the South of Iceland, where seals are believed to be condemned by man. Read on :

One ancient story from the south of Iceland is about a farmer who early one morning finds a sealpelt lying on the beach. In a cave nearby, he hears vioces and music. He takes the sealpelt home and hides it in a woodenchest. Few days later he returns to the beach and finds a crying, naked, young woman sitting on a rock. He brings her to his house where she stays, but he never tells her about the pelt. As time goes by they get married and have children. But the young woman is restless and often stares quietly out of the window at the ocean. One day when the farmer goes fishing, his wife accidentally finds the key of the chest, opens it and discovers the missing pelt. She takes leave of her children, puts the pelt on and before she dives into the ocean she says: “ I am vary anxious, with seven children on land an seven in the sea.” She never comes back but the farmer misses her terribly. Later when he goes fishing there often is a seal near his boat and its eyes are filled with tears. It is said that the farmer becomes a very  lucky fisherman. And when his children play at the beach there often is a seal swimming close to land. Sometimes it brings them beautiful stones and colorful fishes. But their mother never returned.
