Our Story
BigStuffed is a French brand that was founded in 2013 by Dana Muskat, a designer and mother of two. The brand specializes in creating handmade, oversized stuffed animals that are both whimsical and luxurious.
The story of BigStuffed began when Dana was searching for a special gift for her newborn niece. Unable to find anything that met her expectations, she decided to create her own plush toy. She designed a large, cuddly octopus that was both cute and functional, with long tentacles that could be wrapped around a baby's body for a comforting embrace.
The Big Idea
Dana's unique creation quickly caught the attention of her friends and family, who were amazed by the quality and craftsmanship of her handmade toy. Encouraged by their feedback, she decided to turn her hobby into a business and launched BigStuffed.
The brand's first collection featured a range of animal-inspired designs, including whales, sharks, and sea turtles, each crafted from soft, high-quality fabrics that were carefully selected for their texture and durability. The toys quickly became a hit with parents and children alike, thanks to their playful designs and huggable size.
What now ?
Over the years, BigStuffed has continued to expand its product range and explore new design ideas, including collaborations with other artists and designers. However, the brand has always remained true to its original vision of creating high-quality, handmade toys that inspire joy and wonder in people of all ages.
Today, BigStuffed has a loyal following of customers around the world, who appreciate the brand's commitment to quality, sustainability, and ethical manufacturing practices. From its humble beginnings as a small handmade toy shop, BigStuffed has become a beloved brand that represents the joy and magic of childhood.
