Gudrun's good deeds
Since 2006, we have been working with a project we call Gudrun’s Good Deed. In the project, we give a portion of the proceeds from selected products to organizations or projects that are close to our hearts. In this way, we’re helping to support a good cause together – and it doesn’t get any better than that! 

 

 

Christmas 2024

Gudrun’s Good Deed is a project that we have been running since 2006. The project involves donating part of the proceeds of sales of selected items to organisations or projects close to our hearts. This year, $5 from the proceeds of each Wanja tunic will be donated to Handarbetets vänner. A society and centre founded in 1874 to promote textile arts and crafts.

    Holiday Season 2023 – colorful berets 
    This year for every knit beret sold, together with you, we’re donating $2.50 to a charity project in Nepal. We want to give the money to a spinning mill that is under construction. Because right now, Nepal has no spinning mill and sends wool to China for processing. We hope our donation will ultimately contribute to more means of livelihood in the country, and thus to a better life for many people.


     

     

    Holiday 2022
    This year, $2 per product will go to Dalarnas Museum in Falun, Sweden. It is the county museum of Dalarna, with a mission to collect, safeguard, study and display objects, stories and information about cultural settings to describe the lives and livelihoods of the people of Dalarna. From pre-history to today. Our donation will be used in the work to revitalize the museum’s collection of textiles.

    Christmas 2021
    Gudrun decided that the Christmas 2021 Good Deed for the year would be a grant to aspiring artists who are applying for or already studying art/design/crafts at college or university. Funding was raised for no fewer than 12 grants and, after careful consideration, Gudrun and her panel of judges have selected the applicants who will be receiving a grant for their artistic studies.

    Christmas 2020
    For every “Kranskulla” cardigan sold during Christmas 2020, we donated SEK 50 to the Nordic Museum in Stockholm. First and foremost – many thanks to all of you who contributed to Gudrun’s Good Deed in 2020. During that Christmas period, you bought 2,835 “Kranskulla” cardigans and the entire proceeds went to the Nordic Museum. We are absolutely delighted that we raised so much. We can make a difference together!

    Christmas 2019
    This year, we're donating £5 for every “Ide” bathrobe sold to a school in India. AND WE’VE GOT A RESULT! First and foremost, we’d like to thank everyone who participated in our Christmas 2019 edition of Gudrun’s good deed! We sold a total of 1783 “Ide” bathrobes, the proceeds of which will be donated in full to the benefit of schoolchildren and teachers in India. We couldn’t be more thrilled about this result. Together, we can really make a difference!

    Christmas 2018

With your help, we were able to donate SEK 216,788 to Aid by Trade. This amazing donation will support their work with Cotton made in Africa, which improves living conditions for small-scale producers, farmers and their families on site. A huge THANK YOU to everyone who donated. Together we can make a difference.
