Dutch designer Anne-Claire Petit studied textile design at Eindhoven, where she developed an abiding love of traditional craftsmanship. Her designs are hand-crocheted in the countr yside villages of Northern China, where women have passed on their handwork traditions for generations: knitting and crocheting are part of their cultural and craft heritage. The women work at home, often together with their neighbors. They determine their own work schedule, so they can spend time with their kids and take care of the harvest. Mirabelle brings the beloved Alain Gree illustrated character to life. Hand-crocheted in organic cotton, 4 3/4 inches across. Show more
