The Sami people have been elaborating their tools by hand for thousands and thousands of years, since they were the first people in populate Sweden until nowadays.

And they still do them as they did, with the refined experience of centuries.

But they are also renewed and include new elements.

They make their everyday goods, such as knives, jewelry, clothing, etc. with the natural raw materials of their environment, like birch bark and wood, wire, reindeeer horn and skin.

This materials and the Sami design have very high quality and the tools can often last for thousands of years.

But the Sami handicrafts also include artistic and commercial objects.
