HANSA TOY INTERNATIONAL: PORTRAITS IN NATURE

A unique collection of hand crafted, highly realistic, cuddly plush toys representing animals from around the world.  Hansa Toys are known and respected for their close to nature reproductions of the world's best loved animals.

A great part of Hansa's mission is to educate children and adults alike about the world's animals and so, as well as being very close plush recreations of the original, every Hansa toy comes with a "Toys That Teach" tag, which describes each animal's habitat, lifestyle, gestation period, care of young, and eating habits. Whereas many European companies out-source from Asia, Hansa is itself based in the Philippines, enabling an excellent direct relationship with the local workforce (renowned for their artistic talent and meticulous eye for detail ), as well as the obvious financial benefits which are reflected in the price. Hansa is strongly opposed to child labour and sub-standard work practices and believes that the treatment of its workers is reflected in the product. In practice , this has led to the formation of a highly motivated loyal force of experienced artisans, all of whom think of themselves as part of the Hansa family.
