Hansa's story

The craftsmen sew the animals by hand "inside out", an old world tradition which results in the minimization of the seams, and their bodies are carefully "sculpted" to create a "musculature" and "characteristics" like the movement in walking or sitting position that are unique to each creature. On average, it takes 42 separate pieces to make each animal, which must be combined by a team of truly creative artists to create the distinctively realistic characteristics that characterize HANSA animals. (Some animals have up to 240 different pieces!) Each animal is sewn individually by hand, to give it a unique "personality", there are more than 860 different fabrics and synthetic furs including the "coat" and "hiding" are made, as well as over 6000 sets of eyes, mustaches, claws, noses and various related accessories assigned to the creation of these wonderful stuffed animals. The padding emphasizes special attention to the placement of the highest quality synthetic materials.
