You can find Dala Horses from a few different places online, but not all are created equal. The best place to purchase is right here at Swedish Gift Store, where every Dala Horse we carry is authentically handmade in Sweden by the same family workshops that have carved them for generations.
When comparing vendors, here’s what to look for:
Authenticity: Many online shops sell mass-produced or imitation versions. Every Dala Horse we offer is hand-carved and hand-painted in Dalarna, Sweden — the true home of the Dala Horse tradition.
Quality Control: We work directly with the artisans to ensure consistent craftsmanship, sustainable materials, and non-toxic paints.
Reliable Shipping: Ordering from Swedish Gift Store means your horse ships from the U.S., so you avoid long import delays, hidden customs fees, or damaged packaging.
Customer Support: If anything goes wrong or you have questions, our Minnesota-based team is here to help — no international return hassles.
So while you may find cheaper or faster listings elsewhere, choosing Swedish Gift Store means you’re getting an authentic piece of Swedish heritage, backed by a store that genuinely knows and cares about Scandinavian tradition.
