Inspired by her own childhood drawings, Esther Schuivens designs children’s toys, dolls and accessories that appeal to both kids and grown-ups. Humour, simplicity and strange proportions are what you will find in Esther’s designs. A triangle becomes a dress, two long stripes are the legs, and an imaginary princess is born with the addition of a circle with two dot-eyes! Soft materials such as fleece, towelling, cotton and felt make her characters truly soft and huggable – ideal for dragging along on your child’s daily adventures.

After graduating from the school of Arts in Maastricht (Netherlands) in 2000, Esther Schuivens had several exhibitions in textile galleries. Esthex was born one Sunday afternoon when Esther got inspired looking through her own childhood drawings that she found in the attic of her parents’ house. Humour, simplicity and strange proportions are what you will find in Esther’s designs. A triangle becomes a dress, two long stripes are the legs, and an imaginary princess is born with the addition of a circle with two dot-eyes!
