At the Hoppi Hippo, we choose brands that are important to us, create beautiful products and above all have a belief in something more than making money. This couldn’t be truer for the brand by ASTRUP.

Anette Astrup created the company in Denmark after the tragic death of her daughter Marie. Marie died from leukaemia at the age of 19, after a 2-year long battle. While in hospital, Marie used to fold paper butterflies that she would hand out to members of staff, friends and family. Even in her tough times, she cared for others, had a zest for life and creativity her Scandinavian roots.

After her death, Marie’s mother Anette grieved in the only way she knew how. She took Marie’s qualities and nature to create toys for children all around the world.

When you buy a by ASTRUP product, they take a percentage of their profits and donate to the Danish Child Cancer Foundation. So, they can help other families who are going through what they did.
