Asgaard: handcrafted leather items for Norse Gods

Read article

  We have previously featured some articles about viking attires and clothing.Asgaard is one of the nine realms of Norse Religion and also the capital where the gods live. Valhalla is located within Asgaard.  Now that I'm reading myself again the Edda´s found so lovely to feature a new article inspired by it.  Asgaard is small company run by  spanish crafter, artisan  and photographer David López. Some items are directly inspired in the ancient northern Europe viking and northern legends and other historical elements, some others are more infused by fantasy elements, but overall, they're crafted with quality and looks killing as you can prove by the photography examples that David himself have made using the elements he's created. All items are handmade and sewed using the finest leather and craftmanship.  So if you want to go to that renaissance fair or you're simply feel an attraction for the viking warrior of you're into historic recreation please do have a look to this store.
