Snowdrops felt

"But she carried more strength than she knew herself. Joy and faith in summer made her strong ...", it says in Andersen's fairy tale "The Snowdrop" about the delicate-looking little flower. It is true that the snowdrop is the herald of spring par excellence: as one of the first flowering plants, it produces its pure white bell-shaped blossom and holds its own against snow and ice. These snowdrops, which are felted by hand from pure New Zealand wool, are just as strong. Thus, they not only resist frost, but are also immune to withering and nod to you persistently: from the vase or as a napkin ring, as a gift ornament or solitary souvenir that unswervingly announces the spring.

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.
