Leopard Cat Shihu (55cm) by Hansa

Leopard Cat Shihu plush soft toy by Hansa. Heirloom quality hand crafted plush stuffed animal.

From a collection of unique, handcrafted, luxuriously soft, cuddly, and interactive plush animals. The Hansa brand is internationally recognised for their “true to life” reproductions of the world’s best-loved animals, created by skilled artisans in the socially and environmentally responsible Hansa studio in the Phillipines.

Each Hansa animal is sewn inside out, resulting in the minimisation of seams. This development of an exceptional internal stitching method allows the Hansa artisans to create effects like muscle tone and features unique to each creature. Fabrics are custom designed and exclusively manufactured to Hansa’s exacting specifications, and everyanimal’s coat is meticulously hand-cut and trimmed, never stamped out by machine. Onaverage, there are 42 separate pieces required to make each animal. Some animals have as many as 240 different parts! Thesubtle colouring on the animal is hand painted or airbrushed by specially trained Hansa artisans – every animal is hand finished with loving detail, giving them a lifelike look but still with a sweet and cuddly appeal.

Hansa animals are made with custom designed all man-made plush material made from high pile 100% Modacrylic fibre (Kanecaron Brand) with a backing material of polyester 150/48F.All Hansa animals comply with International safety standards EN71, ASTMF 96386, AS1647 and BS5665.
