Where could I buy Icelandic traditional clothing?

Question

I need it for a school project, already tried Google and eBay. If you could give me any links or stores, that would be great.

Answer 1

Do you mean the national costumes? I'm sorry, but it's not easy to get your hands on one of those. They are mostly home-made and are usually not sold in shops and they are usually kept within families and passed on from generation to generation, so it's hard to find anyone who is willing to sell theirs. I tried to find shops that sell them, but I couldn't find any. I found a shop that sells material and drawings for making it though. They also give people advice about how to make it if you want to give that a try. If there is any way to buy a ready costume, they'll know about it at this place too. Here is contact information for you if you want to give it a try:

E-mail: [e-mail]
Tel.: [phone]
Fax: [phone]
Address:
Heimilisidnadarfelag Islands
Laufasvegi 2
101 Reykjavik
Iceland

The website of this shop is http://www.heimilisidnadur.is/ind_thjonusta.html but it's in Icelandic.

Good luck!

Answer 2

If I were to be in your shoes, I'd abstain from trying to "import coffee into Brazil" Dubai has uncountable textile shops, from cheap discount shops to Armani, Prada, Gucci Boutiques. Last time I was in Dubai on transit and had to stay overnight, I brought an extra -empty-suitcase, which I was able to fill to the brim within less than 5 hours at a cost of roughly 180 USD
