Design, choice of materials, safety, high standards in manufacturing, finishing, packaging, but also quality of service and advice are all criteria on which we rely to properly support the little ones as they make their entry into the world.
The Kaloo style
Go straight to the heart
Kaloo is the perfect birth gift.
Materials, lines, colors, function... Everything is mastered. Kaloo creates an emotion before you even open the box and a reaction when you open it. Kaloo makes you want to immerse yourself in your childhood: it's simple and goes straight to the heart, to the emotion, to the sensation. Kaloo is precise in its choices, in its lines, in its materials. A classic style whose details make the difference.

genesis of a product
The birth of a chubby
Step 1
sketches and prototypes
It begins with the choice of a theme, then the birth of a story. Words are translated into drawings, impressions transcribed into shapes, patterns, and materials.
Step 2
sampling room
Prototypes and samples are carefully crafted by hand. Pattern makers, embroidery engineers, cutting and sewing specialists all work closely with the design team.
Step 3
patronage
The pattern maker shapes the design. The pattern is the identity sheet of each product, essential for reproducing multiple copies.
Step 4
choice of materials
Special attention is paid to the quality of the fabric's feel and color. Each fabric is meticulously selected for its drape, its soft feel, the lightness of its fibers, and its sheen.
Step 5
finishes
The rabbits' noses, the dosage and proper distribution of the stuffing, and the closing seam are all steps carried out entirely by hand, piece by piece. This attention to detail in finishing is what defines Kaloo's quality and the uniqueness of each of the characters in our ranges.
Step 6
finished product
Once the shapes have been finalized, they undergo further reflection, retouching, and refinements, culminating in the final design. Presented in their gift boxes, the soft appearance of our Patapoufs invites cuddles!
