If you’ve ever spotted a soft bunny with floppy ears or a quirky avocado with a smile, chances are you’ve met a Jellycat. These irresistibly huggable plush toys have taken the world by storm – and here in Australia, Jellycats are just as loved by kids, parents, and collectors alike.
What Makes Jellycat So Special?
Founded in London in 1999, Jellycat quickly became famous for its unmatched softness, imaginative designs, and whimsical characters. From the classic Bashful Bunny to fun oddballs like the Amuseables range, Jellycats aren’t just toys – they’re keepsakes.
Here’s why they’re adored:
Premium quality fabrics for the softest cuddle.
Unique designs that mix charm with humour.
Perfect for all ages – from newborn gifts to adult collectors.

Caring for Your Jellycat
To keep your Jellycat looking fresh:
Most Jellycats are surface wash only – spot clean gently with a damp cloth and a little mild soap.
Let it air dry naturally, away from direct heat.
Never tumble dry, as this can damage the softness.
A small number of styles are machine washable on a gentle, cool cycle – always check the care label first.
