About

Karaktøj is an open-ended wearable toy used for bodily, play pretend and rough play.

The toy has as its core, the goal to challenge the notions of gender, by putting them together instead of finding “neutral” characteristics. Being non-gendered doesn’t mean they're lacking of character. Everybody is allowed to feel whatever they feel like.
