Born from Adventure, Crafted for the Wild

Since 2002, our brand has walked hand-in-hand with the wilderness, founded by the owne who is an outdoor enthusiast with a deep love for hiking, biking, skiing, camping, and hunting. This passion gave rise to a collection of quality, hand-crafted apparel that goes beyond warmth; it resonates with the spirit of outdoor adventures and cultural pride. Rooted in the heart of American landscapes, our brand celebrates the beauty, challenges, and memories that come with exploring life and the land around us.

Why we are called Northern Icons? 

The name Northern Icons reflects our roots, our spirit, and our vision. We are inspired by the timeless beauty and resilience found in northern landscapes—from rugged mountains and dense forests to iconic landmarks that define regions and cultures. 'Icons' speaks to the symbols of adventure, culture, and nature that resonate with people and bring them closer to the places they love. Northern Icons is more than a brand name; it’s a celebration of the people, places, and experiences that embody the northern spirit.

Why Our Products Are Different?

Our products stand out because they’re crafted with purpose and authenticity. Each piece is designed based on cultural research and storytelling, drawing inspiration from the unique activities, landmarks, and traditions of a region. We collaborate with enthusiasts, locals, and cultural experts to weave real stories into our designs—whether it's the thrill of mountain sports, the serenity of lakeside retreats, or the heritage of a beloved landmark. Our pieces aren’t just accessories; they’re expressions of pride and connection. For visitors, they become cherished souvenirs of unforgettable experiences. For locals, they’re symbols of home, heritage, and passion

Each item is more than just a product to us; it’s a piece of art, a tribute to a place, and a connection to a person who shares our love for exploration, culture, or the outdoors.

Hot Tip: My flight was early morning, so I left the resort about 10pm. Had I known how great the Dead Sea Resort and Spa was, I would have delayed my flight until the following day and stayed an extra night and morning.
