This cut out cloth doll designed by Belinda Lyon for Oxfam has been hand stitched and these stitches are visible throughout.
He measures approx 11 inches or 28 CMS tall.
His name is Manuel and according to a little internet research the original sheet of fabric he was cut from says he is :
"Someone who comes from the Philippine islands in the Pacific Ocean is called a Filipino. Over 7,000 islands make up the whole group but only 800 have people living on them. In fact most of the 36 million population live on the largest island called Luzon"
He's in very good vintage condition but he originally had a hat which is now missing.

About Us
We are a family business with over 30 years experience, though both our parents were also antique/vintage collectors and dealers.
We love both sourcing new items and creating unusual and often unique, one of a kind pieces.
All items are professionally "eco" packaged using re-used packaging, recycled cardboard and bubble wrap, unbleached paper off-cuts which is a waste by-product from the printing industry, biodegradable paper tape and green biodegradable bubble wrap and recycled paper for our labels.
Items are sent via Royal Mail and depending on the cost of the item are sent either tracked or insured and signed for.
We are adding new pieces all the time so do follow us.
Office hours are : 9 am - 6 pm Monday to Friday.
Thanks and best wishes from
Steve and Gem.
