Adorable Handmade Plush Toys

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The Mauvais Marie Toys Take Inspiration from Classic European Fables

— November 20, 2018 — Life-Stages
Inspired by the characters from de La Fontaine fables, Mauvais Marie is a quirky range of plush toys all created by hand. Created by Elsa Boucinha, the Mauvais Marie dolls were first designed when Elsa had her first baby and wanted to create something funny and playful for her child to engage with. Prior to creating these toys, Boucinha had no experience in sewing but was determined to create something special.

All of the toys in the Mauvais Marie collection are made from original designs and are crafted and embroidered by hand. This ensures that each piece is slightly different, making them unique and unashamed to be individual. All the creations also feature material free from toxic or allergic substances and are CE-marked to ensure they are made in the safest way possible.
Trend Themes
1. Handmade Plush Toys - Opportunity for innovative, personalized and unique plush toy designs made with sustainable materials.
2. Character-inspired Toy Collections - Potential to create toy collections inspired by classic fables or iconic characters, appealing to nostalgia and storytelling.
3. Eco-friendly and Safe Toys - Demand for toys made from non-toxic, allergen-free materials, and certified as safe for children's use.
Industry Implications

2. Crafting and Sewing Industry - Opportunities for individuals with a passion for sewing and crafting to create unique plush toys inspired by fables or classic characters.
3. Eco-conscious Toy Market - Emerging market for eco-friendly and safe toys, providing opportunities for businesses to cater to the increasing demand for sustainable options.
