What is handmade in our workshop

For almost a hundred years, much is created in Putzkau by hand that elsewhere has long since come from a machine. For us, it's still wire, fiber, and a pair of practiced hands.

Chenille

Colourfully dyed artificial silk, twisted onto wire: fluffy, flexible, ready to take any shape. From it, we craft animals, figures and decorative items by hand.

Stories from the workshop

One family, one wire, almost a hundred years

Founded in 1928, expropriated in 1972, re-established in 1990 — today Ina Paul runs the family business. Four names, almost a hundred years, and still the same handcraft. We tell the whole story on its own page.
