Easter eggs embroidered felt

A graceful stretched twig stitch adorns these Easter eggs - an ornament that ties the delicate ties of decorative harmony amid the branches of an Easter bush. This succeeds the Easter eggs also in the long run, because they are felted by hand from pure New Zealand virgin wool and embroidered by hand as well. From shell breakage and similar transience, they are thus immune. As a transport-safe souvenir for your host*innen these Easter eggs make an equally pretty figure - if you do without them at all and not yet prefer to use yourself to enrich the decoration of your Easter branches or festive table.

During her backpacking tour through Nepal, the Dane Gry Staunstrup got to know the astonishing openness and warmth of the country’s inhabitants, and their craftsmanship bedazzled her. She was able to observe in detail how adeptly and skilfully Nepalese women felted wool into a wide variety of objects. Staunstrup felt it was time to make something good out of the untapped potential, and an idea was born: to combine Nepalese handicrafts with Danish design. And the idea was immediately followed by action.

The company Gry & Sif started producing a variety of products made of wool felt in Nepal in 2000. The designs created by Gry Staunstrup are as remarkable as they are understated and, characteristic of Danish design, at the same time fresh and merry. Nepalese women turn them into products employing traditional handicrafts. Fair Trade certified by now, Gry & Sif stands for fair wages and working conditions, environmentally conscious production and transparency. The company exclusively sources pure new wool from New Zealand sheep for the felting; each of the resulting products is handmade and unique.
