    General Information

    Bringing color to the festival. Protects perhaps also from magic

    In this country originally traditional Christian Easter decoration, we find the holly branch after Anglo-Saxon and Scandinavian model more and more also in the Christmas decoration. Strictly speaking, this is the rediscovery of its qualities, which lie not only in the expressive contrast of the evergreen leaves to the bright red berries. For even the ancient Germanic and Celtic people liked to equip their homes with holly branches, preferably - presumably thanks to the defensible leaf spines - as protection against all sorts of mischief, such as lightning and evil spells.
    Extremely durable jewelry with skin-friendly spine-free leaves promise our holly branches, which are felted by hand from pure new wool: So you can liven up your decorations with bold splashes of color every year, both at Easter and Christmas. Whether as a vase decoration, napkin ring or welcome greeting at the front door, whether wrapped around the small gift or attractively distributed on the festive table, there are no limits to your ideas here. Only the protection from curses and lightning we can not guarantee ...

    Tip: Make sure you have sufficient distance from the flower water, if you want to combine the felt branches with a bouquet of fresh branches and cut flowers. To do this, loop the felt-wrapped wire stems at the appropriate height around the natural branches.

    A Fair Collaboration. Gry & Sif

    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.

    Hint:

    This product is an example of genuine handicraft; therefore, minor deviations in size and colour may occur.
