Norway’s National Day is fast approaching and soon Norwegians can enjoy unlimited wiener sausages, wash away greasy soft ice cream stains and walk on stilts until their legs give out.
On the other hand, it wouldn’t be May 17 without a little passive-aggressive comment from a woman (50) on the bad Punat police.
– You don’t need to waste
Founder and TV profiler Isabelle Ringnes (34) may have made many people gag when she recently shared on Instagram what she did with her national costume.
A desire for change
Like many Norwegians, Ringnes is a big fan of traditional party decor, and says he could sit all day and enjoy all the variations.
– I think bunat in general, both national dress and party dress are very nice. There is a lot of handwork, thought, tradition and creativity in each individual outfit, she tells Se og Hør.
Since his grandmother is from Iceland, Ringnes is the owner of the Icelandic national costume. Recently, she decided it was time to spice it up.
Following this, the comment section boiled over
– I have had the same shirt and apron for 20 years and I need a change. My mother and I decided to give new life and energy to our bunats.
It’s no secret that Ringness loves pink, so the choice of new bunade fell on pink. However, she insisted that she had not changed her clothes Just Get it pink.

Received positive feedback
Despite the fact that Punat police can be ruthless when it comes to changing traditional clothes, the entrepreneur says he has received exclusively positive feedback.
– I think most people would be okay with decorating their bunat a bit to make it more unique and personal. Some may think I’m swearing at the church, but they’re keeping it to themselves for now.
Personally, Ringnes thinks Bunat’s Police helps us have a balanced counterpoint to all the new stuff.
Nevertheless, he believes that it is best to lie somewhere between a tradition from the past and something different from our age.
Former celebrity love call
– I think it’s great that talented professionals are so committed to tradition and history and fighting to keep punat alive in its traditional form.
– Respecting traditions is good, but updating is often good. Having said that, I’m glad Punat doesn’t have the authority to issue permits, otherwise I’d be in trouble!, quips.
