House Hushing, Hygge & Mys: Calm from Cosy Comfort

Swedish Gifts: Mys

Ah, the Swedes! They gave us Abba, Volvo and Ikea for comfort. And, far less comfortable, Greta Thunberg and Surströmming. But now 'mys.' What is mys? 

The Core of Mys

If hygge is the Danish pursuit of all things comfortable, mys is hygge's cosier cousin from over the Øresund Bridge. Mys is all about warmth. Cosy to the core, it's warm hugs, soft light, hot chocolate, a purring puss. Mys is the essence of snug, the epitome of warmth, metaphorical and literal.

Noble Fibres and Mys: A Perfect Pairing

What better for mys than the world's finest fibres? Picture this: you're snug under a merino wool blanket, cupping a steaming hot chocolate. Winter storms batter the window, Hand-made candles light the room. It's not just cosy; it's a soul-soothing hug for your spirit. Snuggle down. Breeeathe. And relax.

The Candle Factor

In Sweden, mys starts with candles. cheap IKEA votives work, but why not go for longer lasting quality? A handcrafted candle lifts the room. It's like a cashmere scarf for your living space. A touch of class.

De-bling!

Mys thrives on quality, not bling. Get rid of pointless trinkets! Instead, and offering a warmth that's more than skin-deep, natural fibres—wool, cashmere, alpaca—bring a quiet calm to the room. They're sustainable, ethical, long lasting and easy care, making them a wise choice for the long term. Comfort woven into every thread.
