This wool strap is made from 100% Dutch wool. This is special because wool weaving mills have slowly disappeared from the Netherlands in recent years. Since then, almost all local wool has been exported to Chinese weaving mills as a residual product. This means that wool often has a major environmental impact. Our wool comes from sheep herds that are used for nature conservation, and the fabric is produced locally.
