Orangutan Male Sock-Ape Sock Monkey Handmade OOAK art doll

Meet Louis, the Sumatran alpha-male orangutan in sock-ape form, lovingly stitched completely by hand. He is complete with large cheek pads and throat sacs, and is made from a combination of brand new and pre-worn (but thoroughly washed and laundered of course!) socks. He is decorated with buttons, super-chunky burnt-orange 100% merino wool and acrylic paint, and is loosely stuffed with rags so he is floppy and heavy - as I feel a sock monkey should be!

Orangutans are three species of great ape, native to Indonesia and Malaysia. They are currently only found in Borneo and Sumatra. The three species are the Bornean Orangutan, the Sumatran Orangutan and the most recently discovered Tapanuli Orangutan. All three are critically endangered.

Louis comes with a birth certificate and a FREE 16-page Orangutan zine, full of facts about orangutans with hand-drawn illustrations. He would nestle cosily in a variety of nooks and crannies, measuring approximately 32cm in height from head to toe. He was created in a smoke-free home.

Many of the primates depicted in my work depict endangered species. A small portion of revenue for this item will be donated to a charity which engages in conservation to protect primates.


Please note – This product is a one-off, handmade item. It is therefore a little delicate, and not suitable for young children due to small parts.


Please also note - Some products may be subject to import taxes and custom duty fees after arriving in the country of destination. Whilst I do my best at my end to avoid these, all import duties and taxes are the responsibility of the buyer, so please be aware of this when buying internationally!

If you are buying from Brighton, UK, you may also like to contact me to arrange a local delivery or collection.

The sock monkeys are always posted with tracking.
