Where are LeHearts stuffed animals made?
All our toys are handmade in Istanbul Turkey by a group of Mothers in need, many being Syrian refugees. We are proud to provide all our artisans Mothers with a sustainable, fair trade income.
What are the toys made of?
Each toy is crocheted with premium 100% organic (GOTS certified) cotton yarn that has been safety tested. They are stuffed to the ideal hugging weight with hypoallergenic polyester filling.
Are the animals’ machine washable?
Yes, the toys can be machine washed on the gentle cycle, but we recommend you hand-wash your lehearts animal and lay it flat to dry to help preserve the animal’s shape and details.
Have the toys been safety tested?
Yes, each toy is made accordingly to The EU En 72 toy safety standard which meets or exceeds the United States and Canadian safety requirements for newborn and children’s toys and are tested by a certified third-party facility. The yarn, the stuffing and the eyes used in making each toy have been additionally tested to be safe and non-toxic.
What is the appropriate age for these animals?
Our toys are designed and safety tested for newborns and up.
Can my child choke on an animal?
Each toy is third-party tested to be safe for young children. We’ve ensured that all aspects of the toy are securely attached so as not to provide a choking hazard. However, we do recommend that young children always be supervised when playing with all toys.
Where do you ship?
We ship using Royal Mail in UK for a flat rate of just £4.95 and free for orders over £150. We ship worldwide using DHL for £19
Can I return my stuffed animal?
If you’re not satisfied with your lehearts toy for any reason, please return it for a full refund or replacement. Please note that each doll is made by hand and will have its own unique characteristics.
This makes every doll special!
When will I receive my toy?
It takes usually about 7 working days to receive your toy wherever in the world you are.
Do all proceeds go to the Mothers?
The revenue of our sales is used to pay the Mothers and to cover the costs of running a business; profits are invested to grow the company and distributed among owners and workers as lehearts is not a charity! We are a social business. Our for-profit company is a conscious company with a soul and a mission where giving back is at its core. We believe in the power of business to help make the world a better place. Our mission is to help disadvantaged populations and more precisely mothers in Turkey. We employ refugee women as well as local ones. This is very important as growing the company means employing more and more mothers…
