In the 1960s, the German company DERU introduced a whole range of leather animals to the market.
Less than half a century later, these cool animals have become very expensive collectibles.
This is a beautifully crafted vintage DERU leather origami Dachshund. This adorable and expressive figure is folded from a single piece of leather that is cleverly shaped and sewn into an irresistible elephant. All DERU animals are handmade, so no two are the same.

Seller's Story
I have a passion for vintage design, and my objects mainly come from Scandinavia. I seek out unique gems that are then offered to new owners through this platform. I ensure that the objects are very well packaged so they can arrive safely. I hope that, through my circular mission of sustainability, these beautiful objects can be given a second life, serving as a good example for many others.
