Odin's Hall history

Welcome to Odin's Hall, Europe's number 1 Viking brand. With 48,000 satisfied customers and a catalog of over 500 products, Odin's Hall is much more than just a company. We're a gathering of modern warriors, die-hard fans of Norse mythology, united around strong values and ancient traditions.

The team behind Odin's Hall

At Odin's Hall, the real treasure is you - our customers. You are the soul of this great bearded family. At the helm are Eric and Arnaud, the two founders who brought this passion to life. Cléa manages our digital presence, keeping our website and social networks worthy of a feast at Valhalla. Greg, the craftsman of modern runes, handles advertising like a master blacksmith. Aglaé and Math, our service warriors, are there to help you in a storm. And last but not least, our talented craftsmen from all over the world, who form the beating heart of our brand. The fact that our team is so large today is thanks to your trust! And yet, this is only the beginning.

Eric, The First Navigator

At the helm, you'll find Eric, one of the two founders and the compass that guides our voyage through the company's tumultuous seas. A devotee of Norse mythology since childhood, Eric always knew that his destiny was closely linked to the sagas and legends of ancient times. He turned this passion into a vocation, creating Odin's Hall to offer a bridge between the modern world and the ancient myths that have shaped our collective imagination. Eric embodies the brand's Viking spirit, a blend of curiosity, courage and creativity.

Arnaud, Master of Digital Runes

Alongside Eric is Arnaud, the other founding pillar of Odin's Hall. If Eric is the compass, Arnaud is the rudder that ensures the ship sails safely through the vast digital world. An expert in digital marketing, Arnaud possesses that rare alchemy of skills that marries a passion for Norse mythology with an intuitive understanding of the mechanisms of the online world. He has the gift of transforming every click into a quest, every interaction into a story. He too holds Norse mythology close to his heart, but it's his mastery of the digital universe that enables Odin's Hall to touch the souls of true Vikings across Europe, and beyond.

Our trip

Odin's Hall was born of a shared fascination with Norse mythology, a universe rich in stories, lessons and values that we sought to incorporate into our daily lives. Why keep this passion to ourselves when we could share a piece of Valhalla with the world?

Le Prologue: A Blog for Enthusiasts

The adventure began in 2018, but not in the form you know today. In its early days, Odin's Hall was a humble blog. Yes, that's right, a blog! Eric and Arnaud began by sharing articles, legends and insights on Norse mythology. It was a simple platform for exchanging ideas, stories and interpretations of the world of gods, giants and heroes.

The Turning Point : Towards a New Era

However, it was clear that words alone would not be enough to satisfy the thirst of our growing community. Our readers wanted more than just a story; they wanted to become characters in the saga. So, in 2020, the blog was transformed into a complete online store, offering everything a modern Viking might need to live out his or her passion on a daily basis.

The Beginning of Problems: The Test of Covid-19

The warrior's path is never easy, and Odin's Hall is no exception. No sooner had we hoisted our sails in 2020 to navigate the world of online commerce than the Covid-19 storm broke, bringing the world to its knees. The challenges were many: disrupted supply chains, struggling craftsmen, and uncertainty that hung like a thick fog over the fjords.

It was our own entrepreneurial Ragnarok, a time when every decision weighed as heavily as Thor's hammer. But just as the Vikings of old faced their trials with courage and determination, we took up our axe and shield to brave this storm.

The Mission

Our mission is simple: to share our love of Norse mythology. We want to educate, inspire and, of course, equip our warrior brothers and sisters with quality products. Whether you're a veteran of these sagas or just curious, there's a place for you in our family. At the heart of this mission lies a desire to democratize Nordic mythology, to make it accessible to as many people as possible.

Le Butin

Our catalog is as varied as the sagas themselves. Iconic jewelry delivered in wooden boxes worthy of a true Viking, clothing to proudly display your heritage, shields and axes for the more adventurous, and even decorations and accessories to bring a touch of Midgard to your home.
