NORTH COUNTRY MAIDEN

The North Country Maiden, aka Maria Bangsgaard Køster, was kicked in the head by a wild horse in her early years and since then she’s been obsessed with everything country and Western.
It's hard to be a cowgirl while living on a little island out in the Northen Sea that nobody has heard of.

So Maria did like she had read so many fine folks had done 200 years before her. She packed up her two stepping boots and travelled over the big pond as a true pioneer in search of a better life in the land of milk and honey.
She ended up in Nashville, the hometown of country music, where a native Mexican known as Manuel took her in. He himself had been sewing Western wear for more than six decades and he taught her a trick or two about the old handicraft.
She promised herself that she would keep on traveling, studying the old handicraft and sewing Western wear the way it was done when the world wasn’t out of joint yet.

So that’s what North Country Maiden does now – nurtures her passion and lives her dream while working to preserve the old handicraft so that its legacy will go on and on.
