We are very excited to bring the design company En Gry & Sif to the gifted penguin. Beautiful hand made fair trade products which are designed in Denmark and made in Nepal. 
The wool used in the making of each product comes from New Zealand and when the raw wool arrives in Nepal, it is coloured with eco-friendly dyes. The beads, sequins etc are sourced at the local markets in Kathmandu, the capital of Nepal. All of the products are made by hand and the amazing skill and dexterity shines through every product which being handmade will vary very slightly from each other. These items are all certified by the World Fair Trade Organisation. 
As the sun streams through the office window today my thoughts began to drift away to warmer days and thoughts of weekends away, being able to sit in the garden, picnics on the beach and of course a lovely summer holiday. In retail you are always having to think ahead and it won’t be long before the site has products which will make you long for those warm spring days and bright summer evenings out in the garden with a glass of wine. 
I love the Moomins and my love affair began as a young teenager when I picked up my first Moomin book up at a jumble sale (before the days of boot fairs!) and fell in love with the soft, round and loving creatures. I have to confess my good friend Ben and I used to read them aloud to each other and made up voices for all the characters. Oh innocent days!
