cuddle + kind

Handcrafted with Love: Every cuddle+kind doll is a little work of art, handmade with passion and pride in Peru. They are lovingly hand-knit, hand-loomed, embroidered and crocheted stitch by stitch by artisans using knitting expertise that has been handed down for generations. We are delighted every day by the skill and artistry of the knitters.

Heirloom Quality: A tremendous amount of love goes into each handcrafted cuddle+kind doll. Every step in the process is carefully considered: from the unique, detailed designs to perfecting the on-trend color selection and choosing the finest, natural cotton yarns. Every beautifully crafted cuddle+kind doll is knit with such a high level of quality and care, they’re suitable to be heirlooms handed down from one lucky baby to the next.

Ethically Produced: Proud to support over 1,000 artisans with sustainable, equitable, fair trade employment. Cuddle+kind ensure that rural working mothers have access to flexible hours and are paid fairly for their work. This allows their knitters to care for their families, plan for their futures and for many, it brings meaningful change to their lives.

Giving Meals: Your purchase does a world of good. 1 doll = 10 meals. The school meals cuddle+kind provide through their giving partners play a critical role in these communities because they are sometimes the only meal a child will eat on a given day. Many students in communities where the meals are distributed walk an hour each way to school and are highly committed to getting an education and improving their lives.

"We can see the very real and meaningful impact our supporters’ purchases are making. Together, we are improving the lives and futures of thousands of children, their families and communities.

dThank you from the bottom of our hearts!" -cuddle+kind
