I am not a materialist. Although I buy things casually and buy some so-called big names that are not worthy of the name, I will also pay for unknown brands.
Things or brands have settled down, and they are still bringing me happiness and temperature until now. It should be regarded as a "good time" for the subject to ask! They have become my "friends" and even a part of my life. They accompanied me through all kinds of things and traveled through time and space.
I clearly know that even if they "retire" one day, I will display them on the bookshelf at home.
When friends come, or children grow up, you can start with them and tell stories about the past.

The four Nordic local brands I chose,
For China people, the popularity may be really low.
I'll put the brand name out first. If you know friends, you can exchange experiences. Friends I don't know, I hope it will be useful to you.

Cowboy-the King of Cows in Northern Europe
It used to be about 2008 ~ 10 in China. At that time, "cattle raising" was popular in China for some time. Many post-80s people like me should have an impression. Many cowboy brands, especially those in Japan, began to adopt the pioneering practice of not washing jeans for half a year as a way of "raising cattle". I was still wearing levis 50 1, so I was naturally a backward group.
Later, when I arrived in Sweden, the first pair of Nudie jeans I bought was naturally in the city discount store in Stockholm, next to IKEA, where many China people spend weekends with their families.
I saw a monopoly of nudie jeans in Shibuya, Tokyo, with more than 3,000 pieces and more than 600 pieces in Sweden. I didn't control it. I bought three pieces at once.
Unexpectedly, up to now, there are only three pairs of jeans left in the closet.
Because it is made of natural organic cotton, the quality is super good. Although "raising cattle" is not my money to buy players, I always wear it. I think this is the most direct proof of good quality!
2、AWNL
-King of Nordic Bracelets
My knowledge of jewelry is zero, so it can be said that AWNL has brought me into the world of men's jewelry.
Every time someone asks me to bring a gift back from Sweden, I strongly recommend it.
The moral of this brand is too good. It is a jewel made of an asteroid that landed in the Arctic Circle of Sweden one million years ago.
What is the official announcement? A promise from the stars?
Every friend who received this gift from me on his birthday said that it was the first time to receive such a romantic gift, and it was time to blow out the candles.
Make a wish with a real meteor in your hand!
The story of AWNL and AWNL comes from my wandering around the old city, and I was completely shocked by it.
You know, no one can resist the temptation of outer space.
But at that time, I just arrived in Sweden and was short of money. I can't buy their Swedish M meteorite series, but I bought a rogue tramp bracelet mixed with energy gems, and the silver craft is also very exquisite. At that time, I felt that the concept of ronin Walker was very suitable for me who traveled frequently. From then on, I will wear it when I go on business trips. I always feel that the mysterious energy of gems can bless me on the road.
Later on my birthday, my girlfriend gave me a meteorite diamond necklace. I believe in Buddhism. ) At that time, they just launched the Oriental Tantric Series. My girlfriend also knew that I had a soft spot for this store, so she gave me a new one.
I have been wearing this for 8 years, and I have a special feeling for the old things that accompany me, so what accompanies me so far is the beauty that has settled down in time. After eight years, it has lost its former brightness and is a little worn out, but it is still my most frequently used item, not only because I miss the past, but also because it witnessed the ups and downs of my eight years in Northern Europe. I think it will protect me from more wandering days!
3. Urban ears? -Swedish trend quality headphones
I often use headphones. Before snowboarding, Skullcandy's coolness made my heart surge, and also made me realize the low-key of the iron triangle.
When I arrived in Sweden, I met Urban Ear at NK Shopping Center. At that time, I was doing pop up, and the design was a classic Nordic economic style. At that time, I wanted to do as the Romans do, so I changed my local brand in Sweden. Unexpectedly, as a headset enthusiast, urban ears has quietly won these years, and it is the one that is worn the most times. Pure timbre, excellent quality, has been "played with bears" by children many times, and it can still be used very well now. Taking it out on the plane, although the color is a bit shabby, it has a feeling of vicissitudes, but it gives it a different feeling and is suitable for listening to some old songs.
Hestra
-Swedish classic gloves
Perhaps the domestic compatriots in the south should use this last one very little, while those in the north will use it more.
Born in 1936, Hestra, a handmade glove workshop, is the representative of keeping warm and keeping face value to the extreme. After three generations of magnusson family management, it has always been a simple style in northern Europe. Soft deerskin with wool lining, fine leather and warm tentacles are the best choice for windy and cool days.
You know, in Sweden, winter is no joke. If you don't wear gloves outdoors, you are easy to get hurt. Hestra, recommended by local people, has a physical store in Stockholm, which has been open for decades and the quality is really great. I took it to Norway and saw the aurora, which helped me successfully survive the outdoor cold of tens of degrees below zero.
Every time we go back to China, or a friend's birthday, what to give will become a problem that puzzles us. These sincere recommendations are warm-hearted, practical and minority gifts. I hope I can help you ~
