Pooki & Co

'The first Pooki was hand stitched in 2001 by Marie Joxe-Colllins,
a French designer/illustrator. Her inspiration being the birth of her first son, Mateo. 
Over time, and numerous hours of work, other characters appeared; creating the funny gang of Pookiland. After the success of the plushes, made from soft fleece, the Pooki collection was expanded to include bags and room decor. '
The Pookis are a range of soft toys, they are a very simple
design and come in a range of characters with their own back
stories. These are the type of toys I am looking at making
for my Wind in the Willows brief, simple stitched together toys,
possibly screen printed front and back then stuffed and sewn up.
