Hanging stockings just in time for the Christmas season: for Santa Claus, to give presents on Christmas Eve or even for pure decoration. These are made of pure wool felt and are large enough to hold a good gift or two. Please note: The stocking with the reindeer motif on the front always points with its foot to the left; the stocking with the Christmas tree on the front always to the right.

The custom of hanging stockings on the mantelpiece at Christmas originated in the Anglo-Saxon world. And it came like this:
Once upon a time there was a man who had three daughters. His wife had died, and so he had to take care of his daughters alone - a task that left him no time to earn a living, so that over the years the family became bitterly impoverished. When the daughters reached marriageable age, their father was unable to provide a dowry - but without a dowry, there was no wedding. Oh dear! St. Nicholas learned of the family's plight and set out to remedy it. Late on Christmas Eve, he reached the cottage where the family lived and spied the three daughters through the window, who were just hanging their freshly washed socks to dry by the fireplace. No sooner had the girls gone to bed than Santa secretly climbed down the chimney and put lots of good things in the socks. The next morning, when the daughters ...
You can guess the end of the story. The Christmas stocking was born - and remained with us to this day (and Santa Claus too).

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.
