THE GRAND PLAN
A run of 5-inch stitched dolls for your desk, your kitchen counter, and the days the news gets bad. We have the characters. We need the right hands to sew them.
THE PRODUCT
Pocket-sized pandemonium. A stitched figure that sits on the desk, the counter or the dashboard, keeps its cool, and lets you stick another needle in when the headlines get loud. Small, soft, and unbothered.
5 INCHES TALL
SIMPLE STITCHING, LIGHT STUFFING
MODERATE DETAIL
SMALL TO MEDIUM BATCHES

Shaping the roadmap for future launches
1
Tell us who you are and what you make.
2
We share the Kickstarter preview and the character renderings, under an NDA if you would like one.
3
One doll, built from our art. We talk cost ranges, minimums and lead times in writing.
4
A first small batch, the Kickstarter, and a line that keeps growing from there.
What we will ask you for: a prototype quote, your minimum order, your lead time, and the safety testing documents needed to sell toys in the US.
Be part of a launch with a strong creative vision, and grow with the brand as new characters and product lines roll out. This is a long-term project, not a one-off order.
We build on truth, accountability and stubborn good humor, and we expect to be good people to work with. Wherever you sew, you are already part of the Front Line.
Maker, artist, organizer, or just someone who wants first word on the launch. Write to inquiry@deplorabledolls.com.
