Handmade soft toy animals stitched in Jersey from recycled fabrics, each one-of-a-kind.

Appleberry Friends is a tiny village of handmade animals, each one stitched from recycled fabrics rescued from local charity shops. Rabbits in ribboned dresses, lambs in soft dungarees, mice in tiny shoes and foxes in little waistcoats - every Friend is one-of-a-kind, with its own name and its own story. Because each piece is handmade from whatever fabric came in that week, no two Friends are ever quite the same - part of the appeal for anyone after a gift that genuinely isn't mass-produced. It's a small, one-person operation run online and through Instagram and Facebook, with new Friends appearing as they're finished. A picked.je voucher means the recipient gets to pick their own Friend rather than being handed someone else's favourite - browsing whatever's currently made and choosing the one that speaks to them, ordered directly online.
