A charming world of tiny, cuddly friends, loved by kids and grown ups
When Dutch designer Esther Schuivens was
reunited with her long-lost friend Sofie, in
2003, Sofie was just a drawing, well hidden
away on a piece of paper in Esther’s parents’
attic. Esther was touched by Sofies’s humor
and simplicity and used the charming
drawing, which she had made when she was
just 4 years old, as the model for her very
first Esthex doll.
This was just the beginning for a growing
family of dolls, stuffed animals, and other
delightful toys. Many members of the Esthex
family followed in the years to come, each
with its own personality: Phil the mouse,
who shakes his rattle; Simon the snail, who
shares tunes from his musicbox; Hendrik
and Henny owl, who dangle and bounce from
fingertips; and Anna Ballerina, who dances
for her friends in the morning. Sofie, the
first born, always wears a hat and striped
leggings, a feature that is characteristic
of many creatures in the collection. Every
Esthex product is made of soft and cuddly
fabric, and many dolls and animals have
long, thin legs that invite children -even
the littlest baby hands- to hold and play.
Together, all can travel in a cool backpack to
take to school or daycare.
Esther Schuivens was born in Sittard, in the
south of Holland, and studied art textiles at
the Academy of Visual Arts in Maastricht.
After graduating in 2000 as a textile artist,
she began showing her work in art exhibi-
tions throughout Europe. The popularity of
her creations inspired Esther to start her
company, Esthex, in 2003, to create touch-
able art for young people.
Her family of dolls, backpacks, mobiles,
rattles, and other fabric creations now
delight children around the world.
Today Esther lives in Belgium, with her
husband and their three daughters, in a
restored old house, where her doll collection
rules the playroom and sheep can be seen
grazing in the backyard.
Esther’s menagerie of cuddly friends are
made in Thailand by sewing machine or
by hand and are sold worldwide. The Thai
workplace is ICTI certified, a proud recipient
of the toy industry’s ethical manufacturing
certificate that ensures safe and humane
workplace environments for toy factory
workers worldwide.
