Trollbeads World Tour continues on its journey, this time taking us to the Netherlands!
“Welcome to the Netherlands! Travel with us to the Dutch countryside, land of windmills and clogs. Admire the beautiful Sunflower paintings by one of the world’s greatest painters, Vincent van Gogh. Be overwhelmed by the favourite colour of all Dutch people: Orange!”
Clogs
It is a common misconception that Dutch people still wear wooden clogs. Despite the fact that most Dutch people no longer wear ‘klompen’ for everyday use, clogs remain popular among people working in their gardens and on farms.

Orange
If the Netherlands were to be associated with a colour, it would be orange! From the national football team’s colours to ’orange fever‘ during the ’Queen’s Day‘ celebrations. This vibrant tradition stems from William of Orange ’father of the nation‘, and the founder of a new Dutch state.

Windmill
A mill is a simple and valuable tool used in a variety of industries. It can be used to manufacture flour, oil and paint, to saw wood or pump water. A mill can be operated by wind, water, electricity, or by animal or human power. Mills have a great historical-cultural value in the Dutch landscape, they bring nature, industry, and architecture together.

VanGogh
Sunflowers are the inspiration for two series’ of still life paintings by the Dutch painter Vincent van Gogh. Van Gogh is nowadays considered one of the greatest painters of the 19th century, however this recognition came too late – during his lifetime he only sold one painting.
