Hvítserkur Rock in North Iceland
The image displayed on this cushion covers shows Hvítserkur, a rocky crag that stands by the seashore east of Vatnsnes at the head of Húnaflói bay in Iceland. Eroded by the sea into the bizarre shape, the rock derives its name (meaning white shirt) from its white color caused by seabird droppings. Hvítserkur is a popular destination for tourists visiting the country and a well known landmark.
According to folklore, Hvítserkur was a troll from Strandir in North Iceland, where he had lived happily for ages. When a church was built at Þingeyrar, across the bay, his fortunes changed, as trolls generally hate church bells sound. As a result, Hvítserkur took on a challenging journey with the mission to destroy the church bell. He, however, did not manage to complete the task, since he was caught in the ray of the rising sun as he crossed Vatnsnes, and consequently turned to stone.
The front of the cushion cover is made of 100% cotton satin with high quality durable smudge-free textile printing. The satin has a matt-finish and feels very soft and comfortable. The back is made from sturdy 100% cotton twill in black color. The covers have a zipper on the back.
The cushion covers are sold without a cushion (filler) and each cover is packed separately in a beautiful gift box.
The cushion covers are made by Icelandic dairy farmers that live in a farm in Northern Iceland. They specialize in high quality textile products and their main product line consists of various types of cushion covers with photographs from the Icelandic nature.

Import duties and tarrifs
Updated notice for U.S. & European customers — We’re in this together!
To keep you fully informed: all shipments to the United States are now subject to a 15% U.S. import tariff. This tariff is not included in your Icelandic Store checkout total. It is collected on arrival by the carrier or U.S. Customs and is paid by the customer.
Our response (to help offset this):
We’re matching it with 15% off all products and 15% off shipping, automatically applied at checkout—no code needed. This discount lowers your checkout total but does not replace government duties/taxes.
Applies worldwide (incl. Europe):
This storewide relief is available to all customers, including Europe. European orders benefit from the same 15% off products. Local VAT/duties/handling fees may still be collected by your carrier according to your country’s rules.
How the shipping discount appears
The 15% off shipping is applied automatically in our system and may not show as a separate discount line. Your final shipping charge already reflects the discount on your order confirmation/receipt.
U.S.-specific details
-
When it’s charged: At or before delivery, once your parcel reaches U.S. Customs.
-
Who collects it: The carrier (e.g., USPS/UPS/DHL) on behalf of U.S. Customs.
-
How it’s calculated: A minimum of 15% of the taxable import value (set by U.S. authorities).
-
Not a shipping fee: This is a government import charge separate from shipping.
-
Refusal/returns: Declining to pay may lead to delays, return-to-sender, and additional costs. Return shipment fees are the responsibility of the buyer.
