New product in Birkiland: Gibbagibb
The idea of the Gibbagibb hanger came from her grandfather, Jón Stefánsson in Möðrudalur, who was a farmer. In her memory her grandfather made many inspiring and ingenious household items from antlers. Hulda has developed her idea further and now markets her brand Gibba gibb.
No two hangers are identical since Hulda uses real antlers in her design. The hangers are made from lamb antlers and fibreglass and the processing method makes them strong so they can hold the weight needed. See more
