These two are mermaid to be friends across the ocean seas! This felt coin purse is as functional as it is fun! Handmade by women artisans in Nepal. Fully lined. Measures approx: 5" x 3.5". 100% all-natural New Zealand wool. Azo-free dyes. Due to the handmade nature, slight variations in size, exact color, shape, pattern, or other characteristics may be evident. Each piece is truly a unique work of art, lovingly crafted by hand. The art of felting: the first step begins with gathering some of the worldÕs finest sheepÕs wool from New Zealand. Making felted wool is an ages-old, time-consuming process of bonding fabric with fiber. The artisans scrub, rub, roll and rinse the wool again and again with soapy water. Once the wool is bound into a sheet and the desired thickness is complete, the felt is laid out to dry. Then, the felt wool is cut and re-worked into many complex shapes and designs. This takes a well-trained, talented artisan and is a true labor of love.
