Gingerbread figures felt

Savoury gingerbread, as we know it, has had a firm place in Christmas tradition since its "invention" in Dinant, Belgium, as a tree decoration as well as on the plate with Christmas cookies. This custom is also cultivated in English-speaking countries, where the fairy tale of the freshly baked gingerbread man, who comes to life while still on the stove and runs away from his baker, circulates. He is able to escape numerous pursuers, shouting victoriously, "And I can run away from you, I can!" In the end, the little gingerbread man can't after all, but ends up between the clutches of a fox ... And the moral of the story: these gingerbread figures are absolutely safe from the clutches of foxes and the teeth of hungry roommates. Because they were felted by hand from pure new wool - which in no way diminishes their decorative effect as winter and Christmas decorations, but increases their durability many times over.

During her backpacking trip through Nepal, the Dane Gry Staunstrup was immediately captivated by the openness and warmth of the people - and by their craftsmanship. She was able to observe in detail how skillfully and skilfully Nepalese women felted wool into Objekten. The idea of using this skill and combining Nepalese craftsmanship with Danish design was quickly born. And the idea was immediately followed by action.

Since 2000, the company Gry & Sif has been producing a wide range of products from wool felt in Nepal. The designs supplied by Gry Staunstrup are in typical Danish design, as striking as they are discreet and at the same time carefree and cheerful; the production is carried out by Nepalese women using traditional craftsmanship. Now Fair Trade certified, Gry & Sif stands for fair wages, good working conditions and transparency. Only pure new wool from New Zealand sheep is used for the felt products - each of which is unique and handmade.
