The Arctic city of Tromsø, Norway, home to the Northern Lights and the midnight sun, holds a special place in the hearts of The Mermaid’s Tail family. This winter we finally ventured north to see family and explore the magical frozen landscape.
Our Tromsø tail was made for the Arctic selkie. A brave and fearless creature, who camouflages along the icy fjords. While stood on the edge of Kaldfjord we spied a lone seal, or was it a selkie? She popped her head up, just for a second, before slipping back under the frozen water.
Selkies are prominent in Norse folklore, so adding a layer of authenticity to the design, this tail was created using a photograph of Norwegian seal fur taken in Tromsø. The high quality sublimation print recreates the detail and texture of the fur beautifully. Gently padded side flippers add a more solid, fleshy dimension.
A cooler version of our Lundy tail.
