Solinka / Collection
Textured hemp clothing and a woven belt accompany Solinka’s tea gathering. A small basket holds broken pieces of pressed tea, with a woven pack secured on the back.
A honey-coloured woven waistcoat sits over the grey-sand short-sleeved shirt. Solinka holds a teacup in a woven sleeve that echoes the clothing’s texture.
A straight-cut black wool waistcoat sits over a pale shirt, gathered with a shell-decorated belt. Solinka holds a wooden tea bowl with both paws.
Long pale clothing and a black waistcoat with red embroidery form the groom-inspired look. A broad shell belt frames the tea gift that Solinka holds against the belly.
A shaggy black wool waistcoat contrasts with ochre sleeves, a shell belt and woven leg wraps. A tea brick sits in a waist carrier, while the basket-shaped head remains part of the silhouette.
Metal pendants accompany the long pale shirt, dark side layers and red-and-white woven sash. Solinka supports a tea brick in a woven case and greets a guest with the other paw.
Original form
An open woven basket grows into the broad low crown, its fibres continuing into the head. Round eyes and large drop-shaped paws keep the character soft.
