The latest addition to the Toy Street family is the Kaloo brand, and we’re super happy about it! Kaloo is a French toy brand that specialises in soft toys, has been running for more than 15 years and is now sold in over 40 countries!

Let’s take a look at how Kaloo came to be the global success that it is now.

Kaloo – Where It Began

Kaloo was born in 1998 when a French Father dreamt of creating a teddy bear to comfort his little boy. Teddy bears are well known as being loved by toddlers and small children – which is why their logo features one. Kaloo is all about providing reassurance and security for all little people, together with comfort and softness!

The Kaloo range thrived and eventually launched into the whole of Europe in 2001, when they also released a selection of perfumes. These consisted of four alcohol free fragrances, specially designed to stimulate and develop a baby’s sense of smell; each perfume also comes with a stuffed toy to awaken their sense of touch.

In the same year, the bright and colourful Kaloo 123 collection was released with a view of making childhood more of a dream by using the bright colours to awaken a baby’s senses. Kaloo strive to not only offer soft toys which are pleasant on the eye and soft to touch, but to offer toys which aim to develop a baby’s senses, making the toys reassuring and educational.

Just a few years after, Kaloo launched their Plume collection, a range of soft toys made from a special micro-fibre which gives the toys a gorgeously soft and light feel. Kaloo’s tenderness, resistant fibres and materials always provide baby with comfort and well-being so it only made sense that they then moved on to baby clothes, creating a relaxed and sophisticated line enabling the brand to have a whole range for babies from toys to perfumes to clothes.
