The Dollhouse
Shhh… Nana’s still sewing.
Some stories aren’t written. They’re stitched.
Everyone deserves a Nana.
Nana’s Quest has always been about warmth, creativity, family, story and the quiet magic of making something with your own two hands.
Now Nana is stepping out of the screen and into the real world.
She is not a random doll. She is Nana — the same Nana who welcomes you through the door, sits in the living room, watches over the craft room and reminds us that handmade things still matter.
She isn’t quite finished yet.
This first prototype is being made inside Cailin and Damien’s Avan camper, tucked away on rural land in Western Australia.
She began as old white bed linen while the shape, pattern, cardigan and tiny details were tested.
The finished Founder Nana will have olive skin, white yarn hair, glasses, pearls, bloomers, a blue outfit, apron and her special Founder Pin.
Nana has half a head of hair.
This was one of those little moments where the prototype suddenly started to feel more alive.
Her first half of white yarn hair has now been sewn in by hand, and it has completely changed her personality.
There is still plenty to finish, but this is the first stage where she has started to feel less like fabric and more like Nana.

The Founder Collection
Only 50 Founder Nanas will ever be made.
Each doll will be handmade, numbered, boxed, and paired with a collector card. The Founder Pin on her apron is what marks her as part of the beginning.
Future Nanas may become detectives, gardeners, market holders, pirates, crossword lovers and storytellers — but only these first 50 will belong to the Founder Collection.

But for now, she is here — on the sewing table — making little versions of herself for homes that need a bit more warmth.
