Polar Bear ‘Felti’ – Peruvian handmade felted animals

Adorable handmade felted wool polar bear with loop, so you can hang them as Christmas decorations, make a mobile, add to your key ring or use as a cute mobile phone tag. Height = 7.5cm

Feltis are 100% wool, dry needle-felted ornaments handmade by women from rural and Indigenous communities in northern Peru. Felti artisans are empowered by learning new skills that provide them with a sustainable income, allowing them to better care for their families. These women have no other economic opportunities and are often earning an income for the first time in their lives. Every Felti purchased makes a positive impact for these artisans and their families and raises funds for the conservation of highly threatened spectacled bears.

The Thin Green Line Foundation invests all proceeds from each piece of merchandise into its operations to assist and support rangers around the world.
