Deep rust tones, a playful character and a mischievous expression: BORIS is an orangutan soft toy hand-knitted in Kenya from bouclé wool. Locally grown dahlia flowers give the wool its rust colour, lending each piece its own distinctive shade. An expressive, irresistible companion, he is inseparable from TAMY the tamarin monkey, forming a distinctive duo. A unique handcrafted piece, signed by its knitter.
Each piece is knitted and sewn by hand in Kenya by the women artisans of Kenana Knitters, a social enterprise based in Njoro. The wool comes from small Kenyan farms that do not practise mulesing. Depending on the colour, the shades come from natural undyed wool, plant dyes or conventional dyes free from azo dyes and cadmium.
Each piece is signed by the woman who knitted it. Slight variations in shade or shape make your soft toy unique – a companion to give, keep and pass on.
