Rainbow happy sits Herbie the Hedgehog in his brand new shelf beside the book cupboard in the pretty city of Bolzano. He has come a long way from the distant Island of Sri Lanka, passing through the many loving hands of the Selyn artisans. Now we share with you Herbie's story.

After the dyeing and weaving process at the Selyn dye house and the handlooms workshops, the colorful fabric comes to the Selyn toy factory.

Michael Jackson and team works their magic and lo and behold, the cloth has been cut into shapes. The shapes are sewn together and Herbie is on his way to be complete!

Herbie is then stuffed with Polyfill (or Kapok of your choice) and is finally ready to be assembled!

The sewing team in action! Legs, belly, head and quills - CHECK! Dont forget his tiny tail!!

...and now he only needs his bright eyes and his mischievous smile...

Perfection! We must check for wayward errors, pins and all things alien and Herbie is ready to come to you! Ciao Herbie! We hope you will love him as much as we do!
