The Hansa Story
- Artisan's hand sews the animals "inside out", an old-world tradition that results in the minimization of seams, and their bodies are meticulously "sculpted" to create "musculature" and "features" like movement in a walking or sitting position that are unique to each creature.
- On average, there are 42 separate pieces required to make each animal, which must be combined by a team of creative artists to create the distinctly realistic features that characterize HANSA animals. (Some animals have as many as 240 different parts!)
- Each animal is individually hand sewn, to give it a unique "personality", there are more than 860 different fabrics and man-made furs from which the "coat" and "hides" are made, along with over 6000 sets of different eyes, whiskers, claws, noses, and related accessories allocated for creating these wonderful plush animals. Stuffing emphasizes careful attention to the placement of the highest quality man-made materials.
- When you hold these wonderfully "life-like" animals, you will see and feel HANSA's emphasis on quality, which is a result of careful attention to design, custom fabric selection, cutting, sewing, stuffing, eye placement, feature creation, framing, airbrushing and finishing. Since each animal is hand sewn, there will be slight variations in appearance.
