Discover the Magic Behind Klarborg: A Tale of Tradition, Family, and Joy

Spreading Happiness Since 1986

Klarborg was born from a deep love for Danish folklore and the simple joys of life. Founded by artist Etly Klarborg, our brand has been spreading happiness and the cozy spirit of hygge for over three decades. What started in a small workshop has grown into a beloved tradition, with our whimsical elfs bringing warmth and cheer to homes across the world.

Crafted with Love, Inspired by Life

Every Klarborg elf is a labor of love, handcrafted and hand-painted with care. Etly draws inspiration from everyday moments and the people she encounters, infusing each character with personality and charm. From the initial sketch to the final brushstroke, the creation process is a heartfelt journey that makes each elf truly special.
