The Fan

Description

Inspired by traditional hunting bags, `The Fan´ is a combination of traditional Austrian woolen Loden and fur of the german Heidschnucke.
It combines tradition, quality and craftsmanship.
The fur comes from the `Heidschnucke of Lüneburger Heath´, a free-grazing sheeprace from northern Germany.
While growing up the sheep develop the typical grey fur.
Each piece is therefor unique through the natural variation of colouring.
The Lüneburger heath is a historic cultural landscape. Since centuries the Heidschnucke helps to keep the heath clear through grazing and is therefor important to maintain the cultural heritage.
The farmers from Lüneburger heath represent a traditional and sustainable small-scale industry. The Heidschnucke offers a 100% biological meat and is appreciated by modern slowfood kitchen for its healthy lowfat quality and delicious taste.
Today there are not many herds of sheep remaining.

AGNES NORDENHOLZ wants to support the breeding of the Heidschnucke through the development of a 100% natural accessories range made out of the beautiful unique sheepfur.
