A soft toy rarely becomes a favourite because it matches the bedroom perfectly. It might be an ear that is just right to hold. A soft tummy. Or the fact that this particular little friend always joins you on your lap for a story.
Our partner brand Die Gräfin makes companions like these. Its founder, Sabine, is a mother herself. On the brand’s About page, she describes sewing her first soft toy in her own studio. Die Gräfin makes its pieces by hand in Bavaria, using carefully chosen natural materials.
A little sheep to get to know
One of the pieces available at Leslis is the muslin sheep. Its product description specifies a merino wool filling, with personalised embroidery available. Children who enjoy exploring different textures can also discover animals made from corduroy. The materials, sizes and personalisation options for each design are listed on its own product page.
It is worth letting a child help choose. They may head straight for the dog while the grown-ups have already settled on the sheep. Having a say is part of the pleasure.
Two brands that complement each other
Leslis creates bed linen with watercolour motifs. Die Gräfin brings its own soft toys and textiles. Our Collective partnership lets you find both here, with the maker identified on each product. Die Gräfin also stocks Leslis bed linen in its own shop.
A few things to check before giving one
Ask which animal the child likes, double-check the spelling of a name and read the care instructions for that particular piece. If it is for a birthday, check the delivery information too. Embroidery can make a lovely idea very personal, so it is worth taking a moment over the choice.
Sometimes the decision is made by the first little hand reaching for a long ear.
