Barefoot Berlin
I bought my first German parents’ magazine ‘Eltern’ and found some great German products. Barefoot Berlin is the first one to be featured. The funny thing is that I bought one of the mice (bottom right picture) years ago as a small present for my parents. I do not know the occasion anymore but I do know it is still sitting in my parents’ kitchen. 
Barefoot was founded in 1958 by Barbara Sansoni and is a company of rural hand-weavers from Sri Lanka. All yarn has been dyed and woven by hand and one person makes a piece from start to finish. Barefoot ships around the world but you need to understand some German…though I am sure that a comment in English via the 'Kontakt' button will work as well.
aha...good to see you back online!! Love your new finds...so much creativity from Germany!
