Dale of Norway

Known worldwide for their iconic sweaters, Dale of Norway are synonymous with premium quality knitwear made in Norway. A local brand with flawless Norwegian design and a collection to die for? Well worth a visit, if you ask us!

Being one of the very few textile companies with production in Norway, Dale of Norway are able to pay close attention to every stage of the production. This ensures premium quality in every garment – a Dale of Norway trademark since 1879.

Over the past 140 years, they have developed their own designs, and redesigned age-old Norwegian patterns, turning them into garments for fashion and sport with an authentic history. Since 1956 they have been outfitting the national Norwegian ski team with official sweaters for all Winter Olympic Games and World Championships. 

Back in 1879 the small village of Dale was as an ideal place to establish a premium textile production facility utilizing the valley’s potential for natural hydro power, the easy access to Norwegian wool and strong knitting traditions. 

And now, in a way, life has come full circle. With rising focus and concern on sustainability, origin of raw materials and workers welfare, the world is slowly, but surely, turning towards products and producers with greener credentials. Being rediscovered as a sustainable and remarkably practical fibre, wool is back in fashion. And with a production still powered by local waterfalls Dale of Norway continues to make premium, stylish, long-lasting garments of 100% wool.

With a collection spanning from light and sporty next-to-skin sweaters made of super soft merino wool to toasty sweaters and jacket made of 100% Norwegian wool, the brand’s Concept Stores are a perfect place to browse their collection. In Bergen the Concept Store is located in the Lagunen shopping centre, while the Oslo store is located on the high street, Karl Johans gate.
