Holland: Wooden Clog

Traditional clogs were made out of willow or poplar wood and are associated with the Netherlands, Belgium, Denmark and Sweden (though Swedish clogs do not resemble Dutch clogs) as part of the touristic "Holland"/Sweden image, where they are seen as a form of national dress. Because of this, Dutch people are sometimes called cloggies, that is, clog-wearers.



Clog magnet is one of my favourite collection…. My hope and dream is to collect magnet in form of clog/shoe/flip flap/thong/foot print from all over the world.
