Know before you buy
This ornament is crafted from high-quality felt using traditional techniques. The material is soft to the touch and lightweight, making it ideal for hanging on delicate tree branches.
Silk Road Bazaar operates on fair trade principles, ensuring that the women artisans in Kyrgyzstan receive equitable pay for their craftsmanship. Your purchase directly supports these women and contributes to poverty reduction in their local communities.
Because every piece is meticulously handmade, there may be slight variations in the details. These subtle differences are a hallmark of artisanal production and ensure that your ornament is truly one-of-a-kind.
To keep the felt in good condition, store the ornament in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using a breathable container or a small box will help protect it from dust and potential snagging during the off-season.
Felt is a durable, non-breakable material, making this ornament a safer alternative to glass or ceramic decorations. While it is sturdy, it should still be handled with care to maintain its shape and texture over time.
