Know before you buy
This ornament is crafted from felt. Because it is handmade, each piece has a soft, tactile texture that differs from traditional glass or plastic ornaments.
Each London Taxi ornament is handcrafted by artisans in Kyrgyzstan. The production process supports fair trade practices and provides economic empowerment for women in the region.
No, this ornament is designed exclusively for indoor use. The felt material is not weather-resistant and should be kept away from moisture and direct outdoor elements.
As a figurine-style ornament, it has a three-dimensional shape rather than being flat. It is lightweight, but you may want to place it on a sturdy branch to ensure it sits prominently among your other decorations.
Because each piece is individually crafted by artisans, there may be slight variations in the stitching or shape. These subtle differences are a hallmark of handmade items and ensure that your ornament is unique.
