Viking Clothes Pin
Fasten your cloak like a true Norse raider with this authentic bone clothes pin, echoing the everyday utility of Viking life.
Handcrafted from natural bone, this Viking clothes pin reflects the pragmatic spirit of Norse craftsmanship. Designed after historical fasteners found in 10th-century digs across Scandinavia, its simple form belies its enduring strength. With a smooth, tapered shaft and rounded point, it easily secures woolen cloaks or other period garments at the shoulder, just as our ancestors did before us. Whether you’re outfitting for a LARP, reenactment, or Norse-inspired ensemble, this piece brings rugged realism to your look.
In the hush of dawn, before sails meet the sea, a chieftain stands atop the fjord’s edge. His cloak, caught by the wind, clings to his shoulders thanks to a humble bone pin—carved not for glory, but for necessity. Each warrior bore such a tool, worn at the right shoulder, as vital as axe or shield. This was not mere fashion—it was tradition, passed from hand to hand like sagas by firelight.
Ideal for jarls, thralls, and shieldmaidens alike, this pin suits any character grounded in daily Viking life—travelers, traders, and settlers who value utility over ornament, yet still carry the soul of the north with them.
