If you were named after the food you liked to eat, would your first name be Sugar too? The sugar glider loves all the sweet nectar and sap in the bush and can glide from tree to tree because of a membrane the extends from the fore legs to the hind legs. 

This adorable Sugar Glider certainly lives up to its name and is as sweet as they come. The Sugar Glider is from the Australian Native collection and has been carefully hand crafted in partnership with wildlife experts and brought to life with meticulous attention to detail. Super Soft faux fur covers this beautiful Glider with two tone fabrics used on the back and belly to replicate the stunning markings of this much loved Australian sweetie. Finished to the highest standard using airbrushing its distinct facial markings its four little hands (it doesn’t have feet) are out stretched waiting to be hugged. 

Portraits in Nature is a hand-crafted collection of realistic plush animals. Artists working in a socially responsible and environmentally responsible studio create each Hansa animal from portraits of the creature in its natural habitat.

The Hansa Story
Artisan hand sew the animals "inside out", an old world tradition that results in the mininisation of seams, and their bodies are carefully "sculpted" to create "musculature" and "features" like movement in a walking or sitting position that are unique to each creature. On average, there are 42 separate pieces required to make each animal, that must be combined by a team of truly creative artists to create the distinctly realistic features that characterise HANSA animals. Each animal is individually hand sewn, to give it a unique "personality", there are more than 860 different fabrics and man-made furs from which the "coat" and "hides" are made, along with over 6000 sets of different eyes, whiskers, claws, noses, and related accessories allocated for creating these wonderful plush animals. Stuffing emphasises careful attention to the placement of the highest quality man-made materials.

When you hold these wonderfully "life-like" animals, you will see and feel HANSA's emphasis on quality, which is a result of careful attention to design, custom fabric selection, cutting, sewing, stuffing, eye placement, feature creation, framing, air brushing and finishing. Since each animal is hand sewn, there will be slight variations in appearance.
