Founded in 1997, Loose Neck Land began with a simple discovery and a deep appreciation for handcrafted culture. While exploring markets in rural Mexico, we came across whimsical wooden animal figures with “loose necks,” made from the fallen seeds of the Limoncillo fruit. Their charm, movement, and cultural roots captivated us. As we learned more, we discovered a rich tradition behind these eco-friendly novelties—each one handcrafted by indigenous artisans using techniques passed down through generations. What started as a small passion project quickly grew into a mission: to help preserve this unique art form, support artisan communities, and share their creations with the world. Today, over 25 years later, Loose Neck Land remains the exclusive provider of these handmade treasures. We continue to stand by our founding values—sustainability, fair trade, and the joy of meaningful craftsmanship.

At the heart of Loose Neck Land are the skilled hands and creative spirits of our artisan partners in Mexico. Each piece is lovingly handcrafted by indigenous makers whose families have passed down carving, molding, and painting traditions for generations. We believe in fair trade, ethical production, and preserving cultural heritage. That’s why we work directly with artisan communities—providing fair wages, safe working conditions, and consistent support to help their crafts thrive in the modern world. Every Loose Neck Land figure tells a story—not just of eco-friendly innovation, but of real people, real families, and real craftsmanship. When you carry our products, you’re not just selling a novelty—you’re helping sustain a legacy.
