The doggies are beautiful! The confection is of excellent quality and is in every way similar to the photo. They look very friendly and are very pleasant to take and touch. I am proud of the gift I have to offer. Many thanks!

This little black cat was custom created. I was even able to choose the fabric on her belly through the choice that was offered to me. Thank you for your patience and for taking the time to listen to my needs. She will play for many years with our children.

The Guenilloux

Les Guenilloux: from rags to stuffed animals for boys and girls.

It was my paternal grandmother who inspired me to make crafts. She knitted, crocheted, embroidered and I admired her. Since I was a little girl I love working with my hands to create all kinds of things: clothes, bags, decorations, jewelry, hats with all kinds of materials. For some time, I was surrounded by future mothers and it gave me the desire to create something for their upcoming baby. From there came the idea of soft toys. I had scraps of fabrics and clothes, which my children no longer wore, which I used to make my first Guenilloux.

C'est ma grand-maman paternelle qui m'a inspiré à faire de l'artisanat. Elle tricotait, crochetait, brodait et moi je l'admirais. Depuis que je suis toute petite j'adore travailler avec mes mains pour créer toutes sortes de choses : des vêtements, des sacs, des décors, des bijoux, des chapeaux avec toutes sortes de matières. Depuis quelque temps , j'étais entourée de futures mamans et ça m'a donner le goût de créer quelque chose pour leur poupon à venir. De là m'est venue l'idée des peluches. J'avais des retailles de tissus et des vêtements ,que mes enfants ne portaient plus , que j'ai utilisés pour fabriquer mes premiers Guenilloux.
