On Tristan da Cunha, even the simplest keepsakes can carry a story from the island and its remarkable past.
Part of the Tesori di Tommaso collection, these Christmas baubles are made from recycled old First Day Covers, giving previously used materials a new life as festive decorations. The collection takes its name from Italian Tommaso Corri, one of Tristan’s earliest settlers, whose mysterious story of hidden treasure has become part of the island’s heritage.
Each set contains four handmade paper baubles, with assorted colours created from recycled First Day Covers. Each bauble measures approximately 6 × 2 cm, with small variations possible due to the handmade nature of the pieces.
Decorate your Christmas tree with a little piece of Tristan’s history and bring home something made from the island’s past.
