The day that Japanese designer Sun-Min Kim sent her
boyfriend, David Horvath, a hand-sewn plush doll modeled after
a little character he frequently doodled into the corners of
his letters to her, was the day the Ugly Doll was born. The
orange apron-wearing little fellow was named Wage. Eventually,
Sun-Min would bring to life even more of David’s drawings,
and what began as a huggable love-letter of sorts is now
available for us all to send to make our loved ones - little
and big - smile.
