Soft Bird Phone PursePRINT THIS PAGE

SKU: 5905640

SKU# 5905640

Yellow bird is a harbinger of good cheer, appliquéd on this soft phone purse. Handmade in Nepal from wool felt.

Felt refers to non-woven fabric formed when wool fibers lock together under heat, moisture and pressure. This bonding of fibers is called felting. At ACP some 60 women produce felt – all by hand, using hot water, soap and the pressure of their hands to bond the fibers. ACP has been at the forefront of reviving this traditional skill in Nepal. Felt making likely began in Asia. It is an important folk tradition in Nepal, where people living in the mountainous regions made felt carpets.
