 Lastest bag done. Partially own designed (the sunwheel on the top area is based on Swedish Gotlandic picture stones and Visigothic stone carvings in Spain, and the inside pocket detail is Gotlandic as well). Order and see details in the following link:

Another tattoo design

The same customer who ordered this guitar strap also wanted a tattoo design for his arm, using the same pattern, adding a big  Runic wolf surrounding everything. Here is it.

Odinn T shirt design

One eyed design for a T shirt...links to the shirts some later ;)

Tattoo design for Chile

We've requested for a Tattoo making, for the back side of the shoulders. The order was to make it including an Ur and the Uruz Rune.  An hour later we showed this to the customer and she was happy...so, end of the story.

Textile banner design


Once upon a time I've did this design, I guess it's too large to put it on leather or any other craft (unless a back tattoo, but no one payed attention to it back in the day xD), so we've decided to make a textile banner for ourselves, and here's the result. Nope, this time we are not the textile makers, we found this service diving in the net ;)

Oh...I almost forgot it, this design ended on a T shirt for sale also, but I'll post T shirts some later....

Fraujo entering Halja

I wanted to make a more "realistic"  drawing some time ago, something personal...so I did the East Germanic version of Freyja, called Ingwon/Fraujo in Gothic, who regarding some scholars she had a triple attribute: Goddes of Earth, Goddes of Fertility and Goddes of Death. Therefore the pic is entitled "Fraujo enering Halja", the realm of the dead... The drawing is hand penciled and inked, and then digitally coloured. I shall probably sell printed copies on the shop soon.

Comissioned Thorr's wallet.

Customized wallet for Mr. Mike Sousa in Portugal. Own design.

A norse gift

Birthday present for a relative. Own design.

Knife and sheat!

My oldest knife needed some restoration, so I designed a sheat based on Mammen style. The handle was made using an old piece of walnut that was out there at home. Perhaps it's time to start making knife handles with wood and bone...do you think it's a good idea?

Oseberg style combat bracers

Those combat bracers were sold on april 2016, but we're so proud to this Norse pattern (I guess the Oseberg style is one of the most complex and intricate styles for knotworking) that we'll probably make a new pair for the shop, using the same dragon but different shape and colours in a near future.

Helvargar logo

Logo design we did some years ago for an Italian reenactment group. It's an honour they still using it!

A belt and two guitar straps for Korpiklaani members.




This belt and guitar straps were made for Jonne and Cane from the Folk-Metal band Korpiklaani a couple of years ago. We're glad to know they are using it on live shows even nowadays. Don't ask us why, but making guitar straps is one of the most relaxing orders in leatherwork for us.

Some information about us




Hulduköttr is born in september of 2009, being a heathen society dedicated to leathercraft and composed by Kaine Arthursson and Ásvör Hrodgardóttir. Our production is mainly bracers, wristbands, purses ,belts, carved horns, some wood works...although we make other works such as billfolders, wallets, guitar straps , furnitures, tattoo designs, logo designs, designs for T shirts or anything that inspiration or neediness requires.

Our workplace is located in La Coruña city, Galicia (Spain). We deal with handcured vegetal tanned leather, an outcome for what we feel a wide respect, so professionally as spiritually, honouring the former animal in each item that we put into practize.

Considering leathercraft as an activity so old as humanity exists, in Hulduköttr we venerate the oldest traditions. Eventually, we keep in mind our current times, therefore we allow tha any contemporary influence holds our work.

Nature Life Powers, represented under a heathen point of view, is the main inspiration source in Hulduköttr. Germanic tribes art along their history, their archeology, styles and influences are our essential motivation. Borre, Jelling, Oseberg or Ringerike styles, even Roman influence in the Migration Period are subject thoroughly analyzed by us. Consequently, another basic influence is the Celtic art raised from Hallstatt and La Tene cultures and then the christian period in Ireland and Scotland.

We know that this kind of art were not raised from nowhere, so we are constantly learning from whose teached them. Research and apprenticeship, is one of our first premises.
