So on Etsy on a seller selling pictures I saw this giraffe. My brain has told me I have to have it for the nursery and nothing else will do. DH found it and wan tree s to get it, long story why. Google image search just comes up with the Etsy page which is selling the pictures not the giraffe and a Reddit page asking the same thing with a link back to the Etsy picture page……
Anyone know where I can buy something similar??????

Contact the Etsy seller and ask them where it's from?

I don’t think that is wicker, it’s sea grass or water hyacinth or something. Maybe trying different materials in your search terms might help you find something similar?

I suspect it's actually a material with that design printed on it, seems to floppy around ears etc.

if you zoom in on the photo, you can see a seam running down the nose and along the front of the giraffe’s neck.
I second the idea that’s it’s fabric with woven or knitted print.

No idea, but it's lovely - hope you find it!

Unfortunately it doesn’t exist! It was a generated background and the seller has been asked about him before. If anyone knows anything similar please let me know! A giant soft toy would be good

I have this problem a lot - people ask me to make them something that doesn't exist. Their inspiration is usually an AI image. I could tell this was AI straight away because I see the same smooth edges on generated crochet pieces. It would be pretty easy for someone who can weave natural materials to make one of these but it wouldn't look the same.

The Fenwick one that @TudorFrameHouse posted is lovely, my toddler daughter is obsessed with it from when she was a baby when we visit their store.

That's so interesting about generated backgrounds.

However...the giraffe definitely looked like it existed at some time.

I saw two different rocking horse sellers using an identical background for a horse they were selling-It looked like the horses were in a bare room of a Georgian house.

I saw a huge giraffe in TK maxx a year ago. Might be worth checking

In fact I took a picture.
You can see the arm of a child next to it. For reference 3yo

This just reminded me of a house we used to pass on our way to swimming, I thought I was hallucinating the first time I drove past!

sorry OP but you might need to manage your expectations. Plus. A tall sea grass giraffe is extra to dust and it could topple over.
