Introducing Eclectic Critters!

Posted on June 18, 2012

How adorable are these gorgeous soft toys by Australian label, Eclectic Critters!

Owner and Mum, Mary, has an extensive background in textile design so when her children were born, it seemed only natural that she would throw herself whole-heartedly into creating the most amazing range of toys and clothing.

Her soft toys are comprised of cotton, felt, wool, lace and braiding with recycled vintage buttons making an appearance whenever possible. All buttons and seams, where necessary, have been re-enforced and double stitched and as you can see, the most fabulous ranges of retro and modern textiles have been used (some of these limited edition).

Eclectic Critters not only creates vibrant, colourful and fun toys, they also have a range of distinctive and equally cool clothing as well. There are pieces for newborns, organic singlets, long and short-sleeved tees in various prints (some of which are pictured below) plus a range that comes in Mum and Dad sizes as well.

Eclectic Critters products can be purchased from their online store or from various stockists throughout Australia. We highly recommend taking a look at the whole range of products…we just love them!
