| Always keeping her own childhood drawings in mind Esther Schuivens designs children’s toys, dolls and accessories with great pleasure since 2003. After graduating form the school of Arts in Maastricht in 2000, the Netherlands, Esther had several exhibitions in textile galleries. Esthex was born one Sunday afternoon while Esther got very inspired looking through her own childhooddrawings that she found in the attic of her parents house. Humour, simplicity and strange proportions is what she found in her drawings and what you will find in Esther’s designs. A triangle becomes a dress, two long stripes are the legs and then all left to draw is a head made from a circle, two dots are the eyes and there she is, the imaginary princess! Part of the Esthex-family-collection are dolls named Molly and Marie wearing hats and bags and some of them even wear very fashionable shoes in bright colours! Animals like Sam the duck and Lola rabbit are also very hard to miss because of the long stripy legs, for little children it is very easy to hold them tight in their little hands! The music boxes enjoy playing some music for the little ones and make laying in their bed listing to it very enjoyable. Handpuppets and fingerpuppets challenge the mummy and daddy to use their imagination to tell a story of which their children will dream about at night…. Because of the use of soft materials such as fleece, towelling, cotton and felt the characters become truly soft and huggable, they invite you to drag them along your side for the whole day to hug and play! Esthex is for sale in 18 different countries in over 250 shops, from little children-boutiques to lifestyle-stores |
