buying Takkie and Siepie at HEMA

Takkie and Siepie are two of the most beloved characters in Dutch children's culture, and a true piece of Dutch nostalgia. If you've never heard of them, Takkie is a dachshund and Siepie is a cat, both belonging to Jip and Janneke, the young brother and sister from a classic series of Dutch children's stories written by Annie M.G. Schmidt, with iconic illustrations by Fiep Westendorp. First published back in 1952, the stories of Jip and Janneke are something almost every Dutch person grew up with, and Takkie and Siepie have been part of the HEMA family since 1993.
