The Evolution of an Icon: The Von Sweater
We launched this collection with the Von sweater, inspired by the Faroese boatman’s classic, reimagined with feminine elegance.
Worn by Sofie Gråbøl in The Killing, it became a cultural symbol. From that moment, we expanded the style, experimenting with hues, textures, and fits.
The starlet stands as a piece to treasure, a timeless statement in your wardrobe.
Keepers of the knitting tradition
The Sheep Islands
The Faroe Islands, or "Føroyar," meaning "Sheep Islands," traces its name back to Old Norse origins. Legend has it that sheep arrived even before the Vikings. Today, sheep still roam freely across our hills and valleys, and their population outnumbers our people.

Working with Women We Love
Guðrun & Guðrun products are hand-knitted by women in the Faroe Islands, Jordan, and Peru. We know them all by name. Our aim is to restore integrity and decency to fashion by honoring their contributions and ensuring they remain well-treated, well-trained, gainfully-employed, and fairly-paid.
