I haven’t tried this one yet, but I’m curious about the name. “Vante” is Swedish for mitten (whereas “mitten” in Swedish means middle).

The name is not a reference to mittens, middle or indeed anything in Swedish. Sadly, English is the only language I know and my fluency is questionable (my spelling is awful). And the name has no connection to the artist. Vante is purely a made-up name derived from vanilla. It does have more of a ring to it than mitten!
