Clothes for Dolls

Dressing your favorite stuffed animal is a special moment for children. Through the process of putting on and taking off clothes, the stuffed toy transforms from just a plaything into a beloved companion. The Baby Blouse for TOINOU is a delightful outfit created for TOINOU by les petites maries. This item adds a richer story to the time spent with TOINOU.

A Treasure Called "Doudou"

The Baby Blouse for TOINOU is a miniature version of the high-quality, stylish children's clothing made by the Japanese brand mimipoupons, known for its commitment to craftsmanship. It is sewn just like real children's clothing, with attention to detail in the shape of the sleeves and collar. This is not just an accessory; it boasts a high level of completion as a piece of clothing.

Dressing a stuffed animal not only enhances its cuteness but also expands the child's play possibilities. For instance, on an outing day, you might dress the blouse on the stuffed animal, and when it's time for bed, you take it off. Such interactions naturally occur, bringing the child closer to their stuffed friend. By dressing the toy, a role is created, increasing its presence as someone to care for, which fosters a sense of attachment.

The size is tailored to fit TOINOU, but it can also be worn by stuffed animals that are approximately 30 cm tall. If the size is close, it can be used for your child's favorite stuffed animal as well. It makes a lovely gift when paired with TOINOU, or it can be a cherished present for children or grandchildren who have been caring for TOINOU for a long time.

A Treasure Called "Doudou"

In France, where les petites maries is based, there is a culture of carrying a "doudou," a piece of cloth or stuffed animal that serves as a comforting talisman from a young age. It is said that most children have a favorite doudou, which they take not only to bed or around the house but also on outings and trips. There are even boxes provided in daycare and kindergarten for these doudous. During nap time, children often sleep with them, keeping them close at all times. This doudou provides a sense of security when children first separate from their parents at daycare or kindergarten, helping them gain independence. Even as they grow and the doudou becomes less necessary, it remains a treasured friend from their early years, becoming a lifelong treasure.
