About Fanny
Textile Artist & Restoration Specialist
Bringing characters to life through fabric and preserving history through restoration
My Story
Welcome to my world of textile artistry! I'm Fanny Kocziszky, a passionate textile artist based in Hungary, dedicated to creating unique handcrafted character dolls and providing expert restoration services for precious vintage items.
My journey began with a deep fascination for storytelling through fabric. Each character doll I create has its own personality, backstory, and soul. Whether it's a whimsical fantasy creature or a historically inspired figure, every piece is meticulously crafted with attention to detail and love.
Beyond creating new art, I'm equally passionate about preserving the past. My restoration work focuses on breathing new life into vintage textiles, furniture, and decorative objects, ensuring that these treasures can be enjoyed by future generations.

My Philosophy
"Every fabric tells a story, every thread holds memory. Through my work, I aim to bridge the gap between past and present, creating new narratives while honoring the craftsmanship of those who came before us."
I believe in the power of handmade objects to connect us with our humanity. In a world increasingly dominated by mass production, each piece I create or restore carries the warmth of human touch and the uniqueness of individual expression.
