1998
Creation of the Kaloo brand,
a combination of the two essential values of the brand: Cuddles and softness, in French, “Câlin” and “Doux” which form the name, CALOUX = KALOO. The bear, the sentimental symbol beloved by small children is chosen as the emblematic animal. With his small, fully-rounded belly into which little children love to plunge their fingers, two curious eyes and an incomparable softness, we call him “Chubby Teddy”: he has become the icon of the brand.

The first collection is launched
in January 1999 and the first Comforters and Chubby Teddies made their entrance at the Maison & Objets Paris Trade Fair: the Chubby Teddy with the Eiffel Tower.

Kaloo gets involved
and becomes an official partner of the Petit Coeur de Beurre Association. On the eve of its 20th anniversary, the brand wished to engage in a partnership that makes sense and is in line with its values. Because KALOO is above all a brand that addresses toddlers and older children with a message of gentleness, it was perfectly coherent that it wished to support and bring comfort and tenderness to babies and children with congenital heart disease.
