Latvian Mitten Kit

Latvian mittens are more than just a conventional article of clothing; they are a symbol of the culture and traditions of Latvia. Brightly decorated with unique patterns that often hold a symbolic or spiritual meaning, bringing luck and warmth during the cold winter months. For several centuries in Latvia, mittens were the main form of gift and they were given with magical significance. Wearing a pair of Latvian mittens is not just a fashion statement, it is a way to honor the culture that created them.
