What is an amigurumi?

Amigurumi is the Japanese name for crocheted or knitted dolls, usually small and softly stuffed. Here each one is made by hand, stitch by stitch, by the person named on the piece, so two pieces of the same design are never exactly alike.

Is an amigurumi safe for a baby?

It depends on whether the piece was made as a toy. A toy sold in the European Union must comply with the Toy Safety Directive, and many amigurumi are made for display or keepsakes. Before buying for a baby, check the product page or ask the producer whether the piece was designed for that age. If not, treat it as a decorative piece, kept out of the cot.

How long does delivery take?

Most pieces are made after you order. Production takes from 2 to 21 days depending on the piece, most often between 7 and 14 days, plus carrier delivery time. The time for each piece is on its page.

Can I order a personalised piece?

Yes. Several producers on this page take custom requests, for example another colour, another size or a detail of your choice. Open the custom requests page, describe what you want, and the producer replies with a price and a timeline before you pay anything.

How do I wash an amigurumi?

As a rule, by hand in cold water with a mild detergent, without rubbing or wringing, and air-dried away from direct heat. Avoid the washing machine for stuffed pieces or pieces with attached details. Each producer may give specific care instructions on the page, and you can write to them if in doubt.

Can I return a piece?

You can return ready-made pieces in stock within 14 days, without giving a reason. Personalised or made-to-measure pieces carry no right of withdrawal, as the law allows. In every case, if a piece arrives defective or different from the listing, we sort it out with the producer.

Each piece is made by the person named on its page, with no middleman, and every producer page shows who they are and where they work.

Orders ship by carrier, with shipping calculated at checkout from weight and destination. Ready-made pieces in stock can be returned within 14 days. Personalised or made-to-measure pieces are excluded, as the law allows, but a defect or a piece that differs from the listing is always put right.
