Our Handmade Guarantee

At Purrbobbin Co., handmade really does mean handmade.

We are a small family-run creative business, and every Purrbobbin product passes through our own hands from beginning to end.

We create the artwork. We choose the fabrics. We cut the materials. We sew the products. We add the selected features. We inspect them. We package them. We ship them ourselves from Mangum, Oklahoma.

There is no anonymous factory producing our finished toys behind the scenes, and there is no third-party fulfillment warehouse packing your order.

When you buy from Purrbobbin Co., you are buying something made by the people who designed it.

Our Artwork Is Ours

The artwork and fabric designs used on Purrbobbin Co. products are created by us.

We are both artists, and creating our own designs is a major part of what makes Purrbobbin Purrbobbin.

Our products may feature:

• Original illustrations

• Original characters

• Hand-drawn motifs

• Repeating surface patterns

• Seasonal artwork

• Cute, cozy, strange, silly, or cat-inspired designs

• New collections created specifically for Purrbobbin Co.

We do not simply choose generic artwork from a catalog and put our name on it.

The visual identity of our products begins with our own drawings and ideas.

We Are a Mother-Daughter Team

Purrbobbin Co. is a mother-daughter team, built around two things we both love: making art and making things with our hands.

We are both artists, and Purrbobbin gives us a way to take the things we draw together and turn them into something completely different: handmade toys for cats.

The artwork and fabric designs you see on our products begin with us. We draw our own illustrations, create our own characters and patterns, and turn that artwork into fabric for the products we make.

Then we make the products ourselves.

Between the two of us, we are involved in the entire process, from the first sketch to the finished package.

That can include:

• Drawing and illustrating
• Creating characters and patterns
• Designing our fabric
• Choosing materials
• Cutting fabric
• Sewing
• Stuffing and finishing
• Adding selected catnip, crinkle, or bell options
• Inspecting finished toys
• Packaging orders
• Shipping them from Mangum, Oklahoma

Purrbobbin isn't a large company with separate design, manufacturing, warehouse, and shipping departments.

It's a mom and her daughter making cat things together.

And that's exactly how we want it.

From Drawing to Fabric

Many Purrbobbin Co. products begin as artwork before they ever become a toy.

We create the artwork and develop it into designs suitable for fabric.

That fabric then becomes part of the handmade product you receive.

Because we use our own artwork, the finished product represents both sides of what we do: art and sewing.

The design is not separate from the handmade process. It is part of it.

We Cut Every Piece

Purrbobbin Co. products are not delivered to us already assembled.

We handle the materials ourselves.

That includes selecting and cutting the fabric used to create each product.

Because many of our fabrics feature repeating artwork, the exact placement of characters, illustrations, and motifs will naturally vary from one toy to another.

That means two toys made from the same fabric may not look exactly alike.

We consider that part of the charm of a genuinely handmade product.

We Sew Every Product

Our products are sewn by us.

We handle the construction of the toys ourselves rather than outsourcing finished-product manufacturing.

Depending on the product and the options selected, this may include:

• Cutting fabric

• Sewing seams

• Turning and shaping the product

• Adding stuffing

• Adding catnip

• Adding crinkle material

• Adding bells

• Closing and finishing seams

• Checking construction

• Preparing the finished product for packaging

Because these products are handmade, small variations are normal.

A perfectly identical factory-made appearance is not the goal.

A carefully made product that came from our own hands is.

We Handle Every Finished Toy

Every finished Purrbobbin Co. product is physically handled by us before it reaches you.

We do not send an order directly from a manufacturer to a customer without seeing it.

Before a product is packaged, we have the opportunity to look at it, handle it, and check it ourselves.

Our normal quality checks may include looking for concerns such as:

• Open seams

• Loose stitching

• Exposed stuffing

• Exposed internal components

• Obvious fabric problems

• Incorrect options

• Construction issues

• Other visible problems that should be corrected before shipment

Handmade does not mean careless.

Quite the opposite.

It means there is an actual person looking at the item before it goes into the package.

We Pack Every Order

Your order is packed by us.

There is no remote fulfillment warehouse choosing your product from a shelf.

We prepare the finished order, package it, and get it ready for shipment ourselves.

That gives us one final opportunity to make sure the order contains what it is supposed to contain before it leaves Purrbobbin Co.

We Ship Every Order From Mangum, Oklahoma

Purrbobbin Co. orders ship directly from Mangum, Oklahoma.

Once your package is ready, we prepare the shipment and turn it over to the applicable shipping carrier.

Until that carrier takes possession of the package, your order remains physically with us.

From our hands to the carrier, then on its way to you.

We Know What We Are Selling

One of the things we value about making and shipping our products ourselves is that we actually know the products we sell.

We know the fabrics.

We know how the products are constructed.

We know what goes inside them.

We know which options are available.

We know what the finished products feel like because we have physically handled them.

If you contact us with a question about a Purrbobbin Co. product, you are talking to the people who actually make it.

Handmade Means Variation

Handmade products are not mass-produced objects stamped out by a machine.

Small differences are normal and expected.

You may notice slight variation in:

• Shape

• Stitching

• Dimensions

• Fabric placement

• Pattern placement

• Stuffing distribution

• Overall appearance

These differences do not mean a product was made incorrectly.

They are part of the nature of handmade work.

Your toy may not be perfectly identical to the one shown in a product photograph, and another customer's toy may not be perfectly identical to yours.

That is exactly what happens when people, rather than automated factory machinery, make things.

Original Does Not Mean Every Idea Has Never Existed Before

We create our own artwork and designs, but we do not claim ownership over broad ideas such as cats, Christmas, flowers, cozy themes, stars, hearts, or other common subject matter.

Our promise is that the creative expression used in our Purrbobbin Co. artwork is our own.

Our drawings are our drawings.

Our illustrations are our illustrations.

Our patterns are our patterns.

Our characters are our characters.

That distinction matters to us as artists.

Designed by Us, Made by Us

Purrbobbin Co. is not a brand that designs something and then never sees the finished product.

The same small family business responsible for the artwork is also responsible for creating the finished toys.

That connection is something we are proud of.

Designed by us. Made by us. Handled by us. Shipped by us.

Why This Matters to Us

There are many wonderful ways to make and sell products.

Purrbobbin Co. exists because we wanted to build something especially personal.

We wanted our artwork to become something tangible.

We wanted to sew the products ourselves.

We wanted to know what was going into every toy.

We wanted to see what left our workspace.

And we wanted customers to know that when they purchased something from Purrbobbin Co., it had not simply passed through an automated storefront.

Real people made it.

Our Handmade Promise

When you purchase a Purrbobbin Co. product, we promise that:

• The original Purrbobbin artwork and fabric designs are created by us.

• Our finished handmade products are sewn by us.

• We personally handle the products we sell.

• We inspect finished products before packaging.

• We pack our own orders.

• We ship our own orders from Mangum, Oklahoma.

• We do not pretend mass-produced finished products are handmade.

• We will be clear with customers if our production methods ever materially change.

That is what handmade means at Purrbobbin Co.

If Our Process Ever Changes

Purrbobbin Co. may grow over time.

We may introduce new products, materials, equipment, or ways of working.

If we ever begin offering a product that is produced differently from the handmade process described on this page, we intend to identify that clearly rather than presenting it as something it is not.

This Handmade Guarantee describes the products that Purrbobbin Co. represents as handmade by us.
