Kofter
The old traditional Sami Kofte has a very very old story. I will not even try to tell anything yet, as I don't know to much about it. But, I know one thing, they are really beautiful!
 This
is Hartvik, Hjørdis' brother, in the Tana Kofte.
He is a musician, and together with Irene below and two other men he is
singing an playing in the group Tanabreddens Ungdom. They
were very popular in the 70s, and now they have done a comeback. The
pictures were taken friday August 24. 2001 in Oslo.Picture: Laila N. Christiansen 2001 |
 This
is Irene, playing a traditional sami drum. Her kofte is also from Tana.
Notice the beautiful shine in her dress!The paintings in the background are also inspired from the old drums. The paintings are made by Hans Ragnar Mathisen (Elle-Hansa). Picture: Laila N. Christiansen 2001 |
 This
kofte is probably from Troms.

 Here
is Hjørdis in her new Tana Kofte. The picture was taken on my wedding day
in February.
