Made in Thailand.

Origins of the String Doll:

String Dolls first appeared in Thailand over 15 years ago. Since then they have been slowly making their way around the world.

They undoubtedly originate from the straw dolls which were made by farmers for their loved ones. Over time they have metamorphosed into the string dolls we know today. Nowadays String Dolls tend to be produced in workers co-operatives allowing these skilled artisans to work from home or in small groups.

Each string doll is made from string wound tightly to form the shape. There is no wire frame and the string must be wound very accurately to keep the shape.  This gives them their inherent sturdiness. Then the string doll is finished with its distinctive accessories.
