Les Doudous Tatoués de maaju Design
<p> </p>
<p>The adventure of Maaju Design tattooed stuffed friends began in October 2018 with the launch of pre-orders. The first soft toys were born!</p>
<p><strong>maaju</strong> stuffed friends is an encounter with future parents, creators who have supported my project and an Instagram community that keeps encouraging me and growing.</p>

A short presentation :</p>

<p>Once upon a time <strong>maaju</strong> (Justine)...</p>
<p>If I am keen on fairy tales, I especially like those whose animals are the true heroes.</p>
<p>Inspired both by Japanese culture and Rock'n roll music, <strong>maaju</strong> stuffed friends take you into their unique and poetic universe... </p>

<p><strong>maaju</strong> soft toys are imagined then made with love in my little workshop in Toulouse.</p>
<p>The materials used for the making of the stuffed animals are carefully selected, in compliance with textile standards, for the well-being of babies and toddlers (GOTS certified organic cotton, Oeko-tex inks and padding).</p>

<p>What a warm welcome tattooed buddies have received!</p>

<p>Today, however, there are needs that go beyond passion and the love of a well-done job. To create but mostly to succeed in developing a brand like <strong>maaju</strong> design, I do need financial support, that will allow me to distribute my little friends everywhere in France and to continue this beautiful adventure.</p>

<h2>Financial support, yes, but why?</h2>

<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>maaju</strong>'s little friends are created to offer the best for your children, so I pay attention to selected materials and manufacturing processes. In order to find the soft toys in your favorite shops, <strong>maaju</strong> design must develop its brand image and comply with the regulations of the European Union by obtaining the CE standard.</p>

For each donation received, a counterpart!</p>
<p>I thank you in advance for your generosity and your support in this beautiful project! And if your kindness brings me more than the sum of 3500 euros expected, I obviously have amazing ideas for using this kitty!</p>
<p> I would like first to use this money to delegate part of my production to an ESAT (Establishment and Service for Employment Assistance -ESAT- are medico-social establishments which aim at social and professional integration of adults with disabilities). Thus, I could free up more time to work on my new collection, and even expand the range of my soft toys with complementary products. Oh there, I have so many ideas! Illustrated wallpapers for baby's room, illustrations and new soft toys as cuty cute as each other! I would also like to invest in a laser cutting machine for glittery flex that dresses the ears of my stuffed friends (about 150 euros).</p>

<p><strong>This machine would save me a lot of time; and say goodbye to the mini-scissors that badly hurt fingers!</strong></p>
