From the Manufacturer Hansa is respected the world over for its finely crafted
collection of our planets animal kingdom. Originally created for exclusive
European collectors, each plush animal is meticulously handcrafted from
portraits of real animals in their natural habitat. By themselves, or paired
with other Hansa Animals, these marvelous creatures make wonderful best
friends for children, adults, and collectors alike. In addition, interior
designers the world over often turn to Hansa animals when designing unique,
one-of-a-kind spaces. Display them in groups, or use their large, signature
animals to set the theme of a room.Hansas chief designer pulls from his
background in anatomy when researching each animal. The fabric used for the
spotted and striped animals is all custom designed to Hansas exacting
specifications in small quantites. And all of the fabric used is hand-cut from
intricate patterns and hand-trimmed by Hansa artisans, never stamped out by
machines. An average of 42 seperate pieces are used for each small animal
(some animals have as many as 240 different pieces). The face and body of each
Hansa Animal is carefully sculpted inside-out to create their distinct
features and musculature that are unique to each animal. And each face is hand
finished, which means that each animal is unique _ just as in real life.And
every Hansa animal comes with a Toys that Teach tag describing each animals
habitat, lifestyle, gestation period, care of their young and eating habits.
Hansas goal is to help educate children and adults alike about the natural
lives of these magnificent creatures, and to understand, respect and
appreciate the importance of our co-existence with all animals.
