The Arctic city of Tromsø, Norway, home to the Northern Lights and the midnight sun, holds a special place in the hearts of The Mermaid’s Tail family. This winter we finally ventured north to see family and explore the magical frozen landscape.
Our Tromsø tail was made for the Arctic selkie. A brave and fearless creature, who camouflages along the icy fjords. While stood on the edge of Kaldfjord we spied a lone seal, or was it a selkie? She popped her head up, just for a second, before slipping back under the frozen water.
Selkies are prominent in Norse folklore, so adding a layer of authenticity to the design, this tail was created using a photograph of Norwegian seal fur taken in Tromsø. The high quality sublimation print recreates the detail and texture of the fur beautifully. Gently padded side flippers add a more solid, fleshy dimension.
A cooler version of our Lundy tail.

Tromsø Tail
A bespoke product created to your custom measurements.
Our tail designs are created using a combination of hand drawn elements combined with digital design, then sublimation printed onto our fabric.
Our tails are created from 250gsm stretch polyester - quick drying and ideal for swim and sportswear.
Can be designed to fit the Lucia/fish fin monofin, the mahina, or Linden - to be purchased separately.
If using a Linden or mahina, a vinyl is recommended to maintain a more realistic shape of fluke (or in this case, flippers).
Please be aware colours may be slightly different when printed to the digital artwork. Please contact us if you would like a fabric sample.
