This brand is a program: Käthe Kruse developed in the early 20th century for her children a natural doll - a simple doll that was handmade from natural materials. Parents who want to provide their children from the beginning on a natural modern development appreciate creative play worlds. This collection from the Käthe Kruse Manufactory was therefore licensed by the “Association of Waldorf schools”: Käthe Kruse is the only manufacturer worldwide with this distinction. Each doll and every baby product is unique to us – like every child. Käthe Kruse products are reduced in expression and in design to the essentials, to stimulate the imagination of a child – according to the motto: „less is more“!

The small, high-quality details show the quality of the „craftsmen“. Like the embroidery or knitting, the wrapped and embroidered heads and stuffed bodies. Käthe Kruse make all this products with organic materials. The body and forms are covered with cotton jersey. The materials come from controlled organic farming, and the sheep wool filling from controlled biological livestock. In addition, Käthe Kruse offer for health aspects an anti-allergenic baby line with synthetic filling.

And Käthe Kruse does even more for a resource efficient production: in general they produce in Europe, in their own workshops. This guarantees a hygienic quality, sustainable production and an environmentally friendly energy balance. Therefore, the company renounces elaborate packaging.

This unique natural line of Käthe Kruse is for every age: from babies to school children. Until now no product for kids can show more love and responsibility!
