British wildlife animals etc on stringed hanging

These colourful mobiles are ideal for hanging in children's nurseries/bedrooms.

For decoration only, this is not a toy.

Stuffed hangings made in India were introduced by missionaries under the British Raj. From the typical western rag doll, designs were indianised with beautiful beads and bright colours.

Made in various workshops in the slums of Kolkata or in villages nearby by producer group Sasha. Sasha helps the women who make them to acquire skills in drawing, cutting, stitching, stuffing etc, and they become not just economically empowered but more confident in raising their voices against domestic violence, discrimination, etc.

The materials used have minimum impact on the environment, and machinery is limited to a small number of sewing machines.
