The Apelsina SNARK Jacket
The Apelsina SNARK Jacket
Viola Gråsten for Tidstrand (1971) | Rare Designer Wool | Handmade in Sweden
The Apelsina is a masterclass in Swedish design. Crafted from an original 1971 SNARK blanket—designed by the pioneer of modern Swedish textiles, Viola Gråsten—this jacket is a vibrant piece of history. In this iconic "Apelsina" orange, it’s a jacket for those who want to carry the legacy of the past into the boldest corners of the present.
The Vibe: Unapologetically bold. This isn’t just a layer; it’s a statement of intent. The Tidstrand wool is thick and incredibly warm, offering a structured, architectural silhouette that feels both vintage and futuristic at the same time.

By taking this 1971 blanket and turning it into a jacket, I’m giving this museum-quality wool a second life in the open air. Because it’s an upcycled piece of history, any tiny trace of its 50-year journey is a mark of authenticity and proof of its survival.
