The Kaloo brand is most certainly synonymous with charm; its high-quality plush toys embellished with touching expressions and soft to touch materials. The gift packaging of each line also reflects its strong market positioning within the baby gifting sector.
The Tendresse range within the brand, is its range of first dolls (suitable from birth), originally launched in 2017, has continually expanded with additional characters and clothing. This season, Amandine and Violette join the adored collection. The dolls all feature chunky limbs that little hands can easily grip, as well as a long ribbon from their rear that a child’s name can be written on. Violette wears a purple dress with pretty flowers and removable bloomers underneath for play dressing. Amandine features an olive skin tone, and wears a simple pastel peach reflecting a more sober look. Both are available in the best selling sizes of 25cm and 32cm.
In addition, for the run up to Xmas, the magnificent 80cm Valentine doll, with her popular ginger hair is in stock – great not just for a statement nursery piece but window display too!
The Petites Chansons range is new this autumn; its theme gentle, flowing, natural and based on popular nursery rhymes and three characters. The launch collection includes fabric music boxes styled in the shape of a cloud that can be tied to a cot and take along. It also includes puppet doudous in the same characters, offering dual use of comfort as well as opportunity of interaction and increased bonding with the toys through acting and singing in puppet mode.
The Kaloo K’Doux range of rabbits, offers both traditional pastel pink, blue and white with vibrant highlights in print contrasts, in its launch products earlier this year of doudous (comforters) and plush toys of approximately 20cm. The collection boasts carefully selected materials for their texture; a fluffy micro velvet, silky prints and airy muslins of embossed cotton. Added this autumn are a range of rattles with bell sounds from the plush head affixed to a smart woodened ring and accentuated with a bow. We had taken the decision to add them this season particularly swayed by the rare reduction in price!
The most distinctive and iconic style of plush from the inception of Kaloo is probably the Plume range. This season the brand has introduced a slight modernisation of the look, named ‘bubble’, with slight longer limbs for grip, a round shape to expose the pleats for grabbing, and embroidered dots of sensory exploration. The launch is via 2 fabulous new colours that impart such class; a cinnamon rabbit and turquoise bear, each additionally embellished with a tangible butterfly and feathers. Again, these 2 deliver greater value at slightly reduced trade price for a larger toys of 23cm.
The Lapinoo range, similar to the dolls, feature chunky limbs and additionally long ears that double as a comforter as well as ties for take along. By retailer request we have added to it with a doudou from the collection, in a classic unisex cream.
As great fans of Kaloo, we might be ever so slightly biased in saying that plush from this range are essential baby gifts to stock. The quality, the detail to manufacture and design, to the packaging, tick so many boxes!
