“From a world of imagination, into your arms.”

Founded in Hangzhou in November 2019, JIWAN Handmade Studio creates entirely handcrafted plush art dolls and imaginary creatures. JIWAN sees herself as an explorer of a world filled with strange and wonderful beings. She observes, imagines and brings these creatures to life — each belonging to its own little species, with its own personality and story. From every species she discovers, the bravest and most curious little creature is chosen to leave its fantasy world and venture into ours. They find their way into homes and everyday corners of the city, carrying with them a small wish: to watch over their new companion and bring a little comfort, warmth and joy along the way.
