🏆
Selling Out at Every Craft Fair They Enter
Buyers stop. They pick one up. They read the emotion card. And they ask where they can stock them. That's the Puffy Companion effect — consistent, repeatable, and already proven across Istanbul' s most competitive craft markets.
🌍
Istanbul Craft Heritage, Global Retail Appetite
Spring Fair London. American Made Show. Maison & Objet Paris. ASD Las Vegas. These are the markets Puffy Companion is heading to — and independent gift buyers in all of them are actively searching for exactly this: artisan-made, ethically produced, story-rich product that no big retailer can copy.
💎
The Product That Differentiates Your Shelf
59% of independent boutique buyers say uniqueness is the primary reason they take on a new product. Puffy Companion cannot be manufactured identically. Cannot be found on Amazon. Cannot be duplicated. That's not a limitation — it' s your competitive moat.

The Puffy Companion Story

A product that carries a feelinginside it

Puffy Companion is not a toy. And it is certainly not just an object.

Each companion is designed around a specific emotion — calm, courage, joy, hope. You choose the feeling you need, and it becomes your companion for life.

Born stitch by stitch in Istanbul, by highly skilled women who design and create each piece as their own art. Every stitch is a decision. Every companion is an opportunity for a woman to continue her craft.

When a retailer stocks Puffy Companion, they don't sell a doll. They offer their customers a story, a symbol, and a connection — and that is exactly what makes these companions the talk of every craft fair, boutique floor, and gift table they touch.

01
The story sells itself — zero staff training needed.
Each character comes with its own emotion narrative card. Buyers pick it up, read the card, and sell themselves. Boutique buyers consistently report needing minimal floor staff support — the product explains itself beautifully.
02
High sell-through. High reorder rate. Low risk.
Emotion-based gifting is one of the fastest-growing segments in specialty retail. Products that answer "which feeling does she need?" are outperforming generic gifts category-wide. Puffy Companion is the only range built around exactly that question.
03
Istanbul provenance — a story buyers in London crave.
Istanbul has been a city of craftsmanship for 2, 500 years. Buyers in London, New York, and Paris are hungry for authentic, origin-rich products they can tell a story about. Puffy Companion gives them that story — and it's entirely true.

Where the city's soul is stitched into every doll

These companions wander through one of the world's most storied cities before finding their way to your shelves — carrying a piece of Istanbul wherever they go.

🔒 Exclusive to Independent Retail

Never on Amazon.
Always on your shelves.

Research shows that 59% of boutique buyers rank "uniqueness" and "not available elsewhere" as their primary reason for taking on a new line. Puffy Companion is never listed on Amazon, eBay, or any mass-market platform. Your customers can only find it in stores that carry it — and in your store.

MAP protection included:all retail partners agree to a minimum advertised price policy, so your margin and shelf price are always protected.
Territory options available:ask about exclusivity within your city or region — we actively limit which shops stock us in the same area.
Impossible to replicate:no factory can reproduce a product made one at a time by hand. The stitching itself is the proof of authenticity — and your customers can feel it the moment they pick one up.
🤝 Handmade
100% handcrafted — no factories, no machines. Minor natural variations between companions are proof of authenticity, not inconsistency.
👩 Women-Owned & Produced
Women-owned was Faire's #1 purchased value tag in 2024. Your customers increasingly choose brands that create economic opportunity for women artisans.
🚫 Not on Amazon
You will never lose a sale to Amazon. Puffy Companion is, and will remain, exclusively distributed through independent retail partners worldwide.
🎁 Gives Back
Every wholesale order directly funds artisan employment in Istanbul. Your shelves become part of a genuine social impact story your customers love to tell.
Buyer Voices

What retail buyers say about sell-through

Wholesale buyers evaluate one thing above all else: will this product sell in my store? Here is what buyers are saying.

★★★★★
"I've been buying for independent gift retail for eleven years. I rarely reorder anything in the first season. With Puffy Companion I reordered before the first month was out. My customers don't just buy one — they come back for the emotion they missed. That's not something you see in this category."

★★★★★
"The moment I put them on the table at my craft fair stand, people stopped walking. The emotion card is genius — it gives customers a reason to buy that goes beyond the object. I've never had a product that created so much conversation at my booth."

Craft Fair Exhibitor, Birmingham, UK
★★★★★
"My gift shop is full of beautiful things. But nothing in my shop generates the emotional response these do. A customer cried in my store because she found the 'hope' companion on the exact day she needed it. That customer has sent three of her friends to buy one since."
Customer referrals · High emotional engagement

"I run a small gift shop and I was nervous about the minimum order. They were incredibly transparent — small opening order, all policies written clearly, territory protection offered without me even asking. Exactly how handmade wholesale should work."

Puffy Companion at handmade fair
🏆 Proven at Craft Fairs

The dolls that stop the crowd.

At every craft market, the same thing happens. Buyers slow down. They pick one up. They read the card. 86% of craft fair buyers hold purchasing authority — and these companions consistently convert that attention into orders.

"In a market flooded with generic gifts, these companions do something rare — they make buyers feel something the moment they pick one up. That is not a skill you can manufacture at scale."
