Embroidered felt Christmas tree bauble

Delicately embroidered Christmas spirit for the Christmas tree or the bouquet of branches, for the lovingly wrapped gift or simply as a decorative element on the table and chest of drawers: these Christmas tree baubles enrich your festive room decorations every year and even take the cat's curiosity or the child's enthusiasm with the stoicism typical of the material. The new wool for the baubles comes from New Zealand sheep and has been shorn mulesing-free to protect the animals' welfare. Felted and embroidered by hand, the Christmas tree baubles feature the classic Christmas color spectrum of white, red and green and fit into any decorative Christmas design with the subtle grace of Danish design.

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.
