Gardi, Guardian and Kiran Angels

Gardi introduced what later became our signature: The crocheted 3D wings. Gardi comes in two versions: Some days she adorns her wings with a silver beaded border, other days she wants them to shine in gold! These majestic ladies are named after Gardi, who together with Hannelie, set up the craft groups in Vondeling and Rietbron in 2006. Gardi means ‘the guardian’.

The inspiration to develop a special Guardian Angel Range came from the Gardi Angels, as well as our great clients around the world. They would tell us how perfect the Gardi Angels were as gifts for special occasions, like a birth gift, a christening gift, or a gift to a dear friend. Not only because Gardi looks so stunning with her 3d wings, but also because her name means ‘the guardian’. The Guardian angels are without doubt our bestsellers over the years, as these angels are not primarily meant as Christmas decorations, but as gifts for those special events in life.

The Kiran angels were developed during the difficult lockdown months in 2020, when the corona virus epidemic hit us. The challenging circumstances made us even more determined – and inspired – to launch the Angel of Hope angels, and we named them Kiran. They are also inspired by the Gardi angels, but the wings are crocheted in either ivory or amber color coated copper wire, and adorned with a leaf shaped glass pendant. The Kiran Angels’ name tag says: ‘I am a Karoo Angel, and I am an Angel of Hope. That is why I was given the
name Kiran by the community where I come from, because Kiran means ‘hope’.
