What you need to know

Say g’day to Scheepjes’ adorable koala duo, dressed in matching pastel two-piece outfits and serving soft, snuggly style.

Made from a simple knitted rectangle and shaped with a little yarn wizardry, Izzy comfort dolls are designed to be pocket-sized pals — ready to offer a cuddle and calm a stormy day. This pastel-perfect set of koala bears is dressed to impress in teeny trousers and cosy long-sleeve tops. Soft, sweet, and totally un-koala-fied for ordinary status, they’ll cling onto you through thick and thin. This koala project by Cher Marcus originates from the Pretty Little Things issue 14 - Soft Toys edition.

Leave these toys around your local area as Random Acts of Kindness to spread some joy!
