We are going to tell you the joyful and caring journey of Boki to be with you: from Nagano (Japan), Madrid and Albacete (Spain) to your home (wherever you are).

Boki was created by Vera Hoffman (16-year-old), a student of the United World College in Japan. Vera’s African heritage inspired her to create Boki based on many memories of an early childhood spent camping in the African bush.

I wanted Boki to look as innocent as a real lion cub but to also bring out the fierceness in a lion’s energy.

Mauricio, in Madrid, took Vera’s illustration and transformed it to make the fabric pattern. He captured the shape and the essence of Boki. After the approval from “the Circle” he sent it to a factory in Albacete.

Raul is the one who prints the fabric pattern and does all the management of the printing before sending the pieces to María José.

María Jose is the one who does the process of cutting the fabric, sewing, and then stuffing Boki one by one. She can do six Bokis each time.

As it is a handmade process, not all Bokis are exactly the same.

As you see, it takes time and love to create your Boki. You can order your Boki whenever but until we have these 6 units, we can’t deliver it. You have to be patient or order your Boki with your friends.
