Introducing the Aslaug Body Armour – a handcrafted leather armour steeped in Viking mythology. Inspired by the tales of Aslaug, the daughter of Sigurd and the shieldmaiden Brynhildr, this armour tells her story through its intricate design.

Aslaug’s tale of being smuggled to safety inside a harp is beautifully depicted on the chest of this armour, serving as a constant reminder of courage, resilience, and survival.

The Aslaug Body Armour fits like a second skin, making it suitable for any shield maiden of war. It’s one of our most practical designs, offering full-length coverage and fitting bust sizes ranging from 36 to 40 inches & 40 to 44 inches.

Every aspect of the Aslaug has been meticulously handcrafted. The process involves careful cutting, embossing, stitching, riveting, dyeing, and antiquing, all leading to a piece that’s as durable as it is beautiful. The embossed panelling and detailed edge embossing add an extra layer of sophistication to the armour.

The Aslaug Body Armour is more than just protective gear – it’s a wearable piece of history, a tribute to a legendary figure, and a symbol of the warrior spirit. Don it, and feel the power of Aslaug’s story come alive.
