Hansa designers have been observing the features and habits of animals for a long time, which made it possible to create a realistic copy.

A wonderful toy for home, school and puppet theaters, as well as a unique item for home collections.

Each Hansa soft toy is unique and special, since all copies are sewn from small parts according to unique most precise patterns, hand-painted with fine details of color, proportions and typical poses to give the toy the maximum resemblance to a representative of the animal world.

The toys are handcrafted by Filipino artisans using high-quality, eco-friendly, high-pile, natural fabrics.
 Up to 10 types of faux fur can be combined in one product, creating "amazing realism" and a special softness that makes toys of all ages admired toys. 

Hansa's artists design each toy from portraits of real animals, and unique hand-tailoring techniques allow Filipino artisans to create effects such as muscle tone and other features that are unique to the individual animal.

On average, each animal requires 42 separate parts to make (some animals even have 240 different parts!).
