The genius writer behind our captions

If you've browsed through any of our Northern-themed posters, you may have noticed something familiar.

In many of the posters, the quotes were written by none other than William Shakespeare! đź“ś

Perhaps you're wondering, what on earth could Shakespeare possibly have to do with Lapland – and with us? 🤔 

An excellent question! Let us explain.

Naturally, we can’t say for sure whether the legendary scribe ever set foot in his fancy stockings in the Arctic whereabouts, but we dare say it's highly unlikely (back in his day travelling back and forth the globe was not exactly easy-breezy).

But if he had...

Wouldn't it be fun to imagine how the breathtaking landscapes could have inspired him to pen his immortal words?✍️

As we were crafting our Lapland-inspired posters, we couldn't shake the feeling that they seemed to be missing something – a touch of poetic magic.

We then stumbled upon a Shakespeare quote in an entirely different context, and suddenly it clicked:

Lo and behold: here he is, our very own copywriter! 

And so, as the English language is so close to our hearts both by passion and profession, we felt that Shakespeare’s eloquent phrases would perfectly capture the profound beauty of our northern homeland. 

What started as inspiration for one poster quickly blossomed into a series of designs, which you can take a look at here.

They’re perfect for graduation gifts or celebrating cherished memories—either shared or solo—or for all the adventures still ahead!

Hope you like them! 🖼️🎭
