Bosphorus
Warm taupe mohair, winter-red knitwear, and a memory of snow over Istanbul.
A closer look
Bosphorus carries the memory of an early winter morning in Istanbul, when snow drifted above the water and Christmas was only days away. His warm taupe mohair and deep red scarf and hat make him feel like a treasured companion brought home from a long journey. Thick German mohair is paired with handmade glass eyes and a genuine leather nose; fragrant cedar shavings, buckwheat husks and mineral granules give him a substantial, tactile presence. His scarf and hat were made by hand. Sewn entirely by hand and one of one.
