Pennant chain felt

The most beautiful addition to the festively decorated table is the cheerfully colorful room decoration, classically with balloons, streamers, flower garlands and last but not least with a pennant chain, which gives all the "airiness" around it a certain solidity. Because while balloons, streamers and flower garlands soon succumb to their natural transience, our pennant chains have a longevity that predestines them for recurring use: The individual pennants are felted by hand from pure wool, and the edges are trimmed with even Langetten stitch. Strung in the colors of the rainbow to the chain, the hand-felted pennants are therefore made to decorate beyond the birthday many other anniversaries and celebrations.

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.

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