Jellycat

Jellycat is a UK based brand of soft toys that focuses on making plushies with unique, cute, soft and quirky designs! Their first designs launched back in 1999 and Kol Kid has been a retailer of Jellycat since 2000.

Jellycat releases two full new collections every year: at the beginning of the year (January) and in the summer (June/July). We will know more about the exact dates of the new collections when we are getting close to a new release. There are also smaller seasonal collections: a Spring/Easter and Winter/Festive collection that release a few months in advance.

Jellycat is not just for kids! Jellycat keeps expanding their line to include a broader audience and now have many categories that can be enjoyed by everyone.

Jellycat is restocked on a regular basis and we receive shipments 2-3 times per month.

Loveables are particularly tactile and like to be held and talked to regularly. There is an open companionship about them. Classic Jellycat families exist within the Loveables, including the Bashfuls, the Huddles and the Fuddlewuddles.

Amuseables are non-animals. They like to make humans smile and often behave in a silly or chaotic manner. They were introduced in 2012, just for the joy of it. Collections include; Sports, Florist, Wedding and Fast Food.

Note: Never put your Jellycat in the drying machine. This ruins their fur. Strong fabric softener can ruin fur as well. Do not machine wash on hot settings, and do not leave the plushie in the sun to dry. Heat damages polyester fur, and this damage cannot be undone.
For a gentle cleansing, a surface wash works well. To surface wash, you do not submerge the plushie in water, but use a cool/lukewarm wet washcloth with a gentle detergent to wash just the fur instead. After that, use a clean washcloth with just water to wipe off any detergent residue. Then blow dry the plush on a cool setting or leave in front of a fan to dry. Make sure all difficult spots like ears, armpits, etc. are all dry, it takes a while. Rotate the plush every so often if you are going with the fan option, to make sure all spots are dry.
For more serious cleaning, submerge the plushie in cold/lukewarm water with a gentle detergent and then rinse it off with just water. Note that stuffing does not always react well to getting wet: ensure that you can fully dry the plush. Damp, cold or misty weather does not work well for drying plushies, hot days are best. This is most important when you are fully submerging the plushie and getting the stuffing wet. A combination of air-drying to get the stuffing to dry and blow drying / drying with a fan to make the fur soft again works best in this case. Stuffing can start to smell nasty if left wet for too long.
