In 1992, I just moved to villages in the mountain forests to chase rural life. I started raising Angora rabbits in a small farm, and lived by selling rabbit hair. Some day, Harry Potter magic struck me when I took a stroll along the forest way, since tomtes and forests are closely related in Scandinavian legend, an idea of tomtes begun to generate. I found some cloth and rabbit hair, began sewing and mending my first tomte. In a Swedish mind, tomtes are always awake at night, protect our farms and dispel the nightmare.
After that, I gave many tomtes away to my friends. Meanwhile, many rabbit hair buyers wanted to order some tomtes. So I decided to turn tomte into a startup. This is the story about ITOMTE. I hope that they can also bring happiness, protection and maybe, a little magic to you.
What is a gnome?
Gnome also known as a Tomte or Nisse. Not many people have seen them because they are very shy and live in the woods. A tomte is a mythological creature from Scandinavian folklore today typically associated with the winter solstice and the Christmas season. It is generally described as being no taller than three feet, having a long white beard, and wearing a conical or knit cap in red or some other bright color. The tradition of tomte/nisse is also associated with Christmas. It is known as a gift bearer and is considered one of the Scandinavian versions of Santa Claus.
A nisse (usually Norwegian) and a tomten (usually Swedish) are different characters, some may act up, some are quiet and sweet. But they are both hard-working, naughty domestic sprites responsible for the protection of the farmstead and house. Tomten literally means “homestead man” and they will bring lucky to you all the time.
