Dale of Norway – Seeking a Sales Agent with Strong Connections in the Cruise Line Industry

November 30, 2024

We believe wool can be one of the keys to a more sustainable future. With a persistent focus on making high-quality garments of 100% wool, our collections are designed to last, design-wise and quality-wise.

Our annual collection launch is equally focused on the continuation of our classic bestsellers. And just as important: If you take proper care of your Dale-garment, you’ll be able to pass it on to the next generation.

Dale of Norway has an all year collection consisting of knitted wool garments; sweaters, underwear, windproof sweaters, jackets, vests, hats, headbands, and socks.

All our categories are important for our existing cruise customers. We are particularly focused on our top 20 bestsellers, which we know have a strong sell-through within the cruise lines distribution.
