OUR MISSION

Carry Forward the Swedish Heartcraft

At The Dalahäst Heritage, our mission is to preserve and share Sweden's most beloved cultural icon—the Dala Horse—with the world. We honor its 17th-century origins by continuing the tradition of handcrafting each piece with the same care and spirit that once turned wood into tokens of home and love. Through authentic craftsmanship and timeless design, we strive to embody the values of luck, warmth, and heritage in every piece we create.
  • Preserve Tradition: Uphold the centuries-old hand-carving and hand-painting techniques that make each Dala Horse unique.

  • Share Heritage: Promote Sweden’s intangible cultural heritage globally as a symbol of craftsmanship and warmth.

  • Inspire Connection: Create pieces that carry emotional meaning—from homesickness to hope—across generations and borders.

OUR VISION

A Global Symbol of Handcrafted Warmth

Our vision is to make the Dala Horse a timeless bridge between Swedish tradition and the modern world, where every handcrafted piece serves as an ambassador of Nordic culture, connecting people everywhere through stories of heritage, artistry, and heartfelt meaning.

WHY CHOOSE US

Authentic Heritage, Handmade for You

Choose us for a true piece of Swedish soul. Every Dala Horse we offer is crafted following the same traditions born in Dalarna in the 1600s—hand-carved from pinewood and painted with the iconic bright red base and delicate folk patterns. As an official symbol of Sweden’s cultural heritage and a trusted diplomatic gift, our horses carry a legacy of authenticity, artistry, and emotional resonance. Whether as a souvenir, a gift, or a personal treasure, each piece is not just an object but a story of craftsmanship, luck, and timeless connection.
