Ouistitine

Montreal, Quebec

Reclaimed fabrics give small toys their own variations.

Ouistitine's story begins with a first toy made from a grandmother's cashmere sweater. Camille and her mother Sylvie developed a Montreal business around handmade stuffed animals, dolls, toys and accessories using reused natural-fibre textiles.

The story & the craft.

Ouistitine's story begins with a first toy made from a grandmother's cashmere sweater. Camille and her mother Sylvie developed a Montreal business around handmade stuffed animals, dolls, toys and accessories using reused natural-fibre textiles. That history helps explain why the selected doll pages warn that fabrics can differ from photographs: reclaimed cloth is not an endlessly identical material.

The mini short-haired doll is listed at about 23 centimetres, while the large girl doll is about 36.5 centimetres and offered on request. Their descriptions name linen or cotton scraps and carded-wool filling; the business story identifies selected wool from Quebec and New Brunswick. Ask about current fabric, clothing, care and preparation time before choosing. A published preparation estimate is not a delivery guarantee, and a natural-fibre or handmade description does not establish suitability for every age or use.
