Limited Edition - Brave Story & Shore Buddies Collab: Stephen and Kuwago
Stephen is pairing up with his new friend Kuwago from the Philippines.
Like Stephen, Kuwago is also made in an upcycled way.
Through Kuwago, Brave Story practices zero waste as their fabric scraps are utilized for its inner filling. The owl’s features are crafted from felt fabric with buttons for its eyes.
The Kuwago (Philippine Scops Owl) stuffed toy has a front patchwork panel pieced together by the Brave Story artisan community with love and care. The back panel has a functional pocket where you can put small keepsakes, handwritten notes, or mementos.
It is a nostalgic piece reminiscent of handmade plushies created by grandmothers and mothers, meant for a child that they cherish. You may opt to use Kuwago as a decorative piece in your home or as a toy for children to play with.
About Brave Story
