In 1999, two brothers in the United Kingdom created a brand that would change the plush toy market around the world. Thomas and William Gatacre of London had a dream to bring creativity and innovation to the world of play. When they founded Jellycat, they set out to improve both the charm and quality of the toy industry. The brand’s eventual global popularity shows just how successful their mission was. The name “Jellycat” came from Thomas’s son. He loved both jelly and cats and thought it would be fun to combine them. The brand’s logo features a cat wearing an orange jelly hat. This image perfectly shows the creative nature of these soft toys.
