Bright Felt Flower - Single Stem - Paper High

This felt handmade flower is made with a wire stem, expertly handmade by skilled Fair Trade artisans.

The vase is not included.

Length: approx. 20 cm.

* Please note that a single flower will be sent and that the colour will be chosen at random.

The felt is handmade from sustainable wool using traditional methods. Instead of weaving the wool, heat, moisture, and pressure are applied to entangle the fibres and create the beautiful material.

Due to the handmade nature of these products the colours and designs may vary, but loveliness comes as standard.

Please note: The flowers contain wire and are not intended for use as a toy.

Meet the Maker

Our colourful felt products are handmade by one of the leading and most inspiring felt producers in Nepal, Aaha felt. As a Fair Trade company, they provide training and work for women within some of the poorest communities in Nepal.

To date, the company has empowered over 100 women, training them in traditional crafts and forming their own community where they sing and dance while creating the beautiful designs. Committed to being as eco-conscious as possible, they use only raw materials for their crafting process, carried out entirely by hand using traditional methods. They also use solar energy to power their operations.

By making a purchase, you are helping to continue the fantastic work of our producers.

About Paper High

We’re Mark and Claire, the people behind Paper High.

Born out of our love of travel, Paper High began as a round-the-world trip. An unexpected change in destination, an extended stay in Kathmandu, and a chance meeting with a paper maker sowed the seed of an exciting business idea.

After returning in 2002 with 2 boxes of beautifully handmade journals and photo albums, we set up our very first stall at Camden Market. Our customers loved the unique quality of our handmade books as much as we did, and our business has grown from there.

20+ years, a few more stalls, festivals, and our own warehouse later, we’re still selling our very first journals – and a bit more.

After exploring India, Sri Lanka, and Nepal, we built relationships with our beloved network of small family businesses, community incentives, charities, and accredited Fair Trade organisations.

We’ve seen first-hand the impact that using a Fair Trade business model has on the families, communities, and local economy of our producers. This made it an absolute must for us that we have a mutually beneficial relationship, and we consider them real friends. We’re so lucky to have the chance to visit them as often as we can to catch up on all the news, and take our two girls along too.

It’s our promise to you that all of our products are Fair Trade as set out by the World Fair Trade Organisation (WFTO). Expertly handcrafted by highly skilled artisans, only locally sourced, sustainable, and recycled materials are used wherever possible, making every single product beautifully authentic. We’ve also been proud members of the British Association for Fair Trade Shops (BAFTS) since 2002 – right from the beginning!
