Barefoot Hakaru the Pony

Hakaru the Pony – by Barefoot Sri Lanka

Say hello to Hakaru the Pony, a spirited, colourful friend who captures the joy of childhood and the artistry of Sri Lankan craftsmanship. Lovingly handmade by the artisans of Barefoot, this cheerful pony is woven from 100% natural cotton — soft, durable, and full of character.

Every Barefoot creation is a celebration of imagination, colour, and conscience. Designed by artist and designer Barbara Sansoni, Hakaru the Pony embodies her vision of turning everyday playthings into works of art. The handwoven fabric, dyed in vibrant tropical hues, reflects the beauty and warmth of Sri Lanka, while each stitch tells a story of creativity and care.

More than a toy, Hakaru represents a philosophy — one rooted in ethical production, fair trade, and empowerment. Each piece is handmade by skilled weavers and craftspeople, many of them women from rural communities, whose artistry and livelihood are supported through Barefoot’s commitment to sustainable craftsmanship.

Perfect for play, display, or gifting, Hakaru the Pony adds a splash of joy and colour to any child’s world. Whether galloping through imaginary fields or sitting proudly on a nursery shelf, Hakaru is a timeless friend made to be treasured for years.
