Vintage Terrycloth Stuffed Animals by Ami Kealoha
Made from reclaimed cotton terrycloth dating back to the '50s, '60s and '70s, these stuffed animals are a worthy challenge to their classic plush counterparts. Each neo-Boho monkey, pig or polar bear is handmade in Germany and is one-of-a-kind. The animals start at €28 from the new eco-friendly online retailer Matteriashop.
