“The stories of all of these playful characters resonate with parents and grandparents, sparking memories from their own childhoods that they long to share with the next generation,” he explains. “We bring the story to life, taking the two dimensional character from the pages of the book, and giving the child a tangible, soft, cuddly version of their much loved friend.”

Rainbow Designs combines classic brands with contemporary design, offering an extensive range of high quality soft toys, wooden toys, baby, nursery and gift products.
