Rooooaaar! Look at this magnificent mane!
Hand crafted from soft white Albiza wood, these charming characters are bound to be loved by children and adults alike. The name PolePole pronounced “poh-leh poh-leh” comes from the Swahili words meaning “slowly, slowly” – a reference to the slowly and carefully hand carved nature of each animal.
Each wooden animal is finished by hand, no two are exactly the same. The expression and detail of each animal is up to the individual creator.
T-Lab are committed to giving back to nature – they re-plant more trees than are used in the production of their figurines.
