Sweet Little Swedish Brushes - Iris Hantverk

Posted by Chloe Lappen on

In 1870, a small brush manufacturing, Iris Hantverk, was born in Stockholm, Sweden. The core business consisted of brush binding manufacturing. To this day, the brushes are still hand made by visually impaired craftsmen. They believe it brings a new dimension to the concept of being hand made.  The philosophy of Iris Hantverk remains the same. They care for their craftsmen and the survival of the brush binding business.
