Handmade Daisy Felt Flower - Single - Paper High

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

Length: approx. 25 cm.

* Please note that a single daisy 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 each one is unique, but loveliness comes as standard.

Meet the Maker

This product has been made by Hatale (which means ‘made by hand’ in Napali), a fantastic WFTO group which established in 2000.

Their factory is based in the foothills of Kathmandu and employs over 300 people, with more than 80% comprising of women from nearby villages. Their main objective is to develop traditional Nepali craft industries so they can improve the living standard of the artisans and their families from rural areas, through Fair Trade practises.

Hatale manufactures felt from 100% sheep wool. They manufacture handmade felt, not machine made, therefore their products are manufactured with the highest level of quality, with respect for the environment, and to corporate social responsibility standards.

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!
