Jellycat Amuseables Carole Canele

Amuseables Carole Canelé is no ordinary pastry – she’s a crème-de-la-crème craftswoman. Having traded the kitchen for a studio bench, she now spends her days shaping light itself. Her glasswork is extraordinary: glass vases that shimmer like spun sugar, sculptures that defy gravity itself...

Her friends don’t quite understand how she does it (Amuseables Brigitte Brioche thinks it must be magic), but Carole just smiles. Precision, patience and a steady hand – that’s her secret recipe.

A perfectionist at heart, she proves beauty isn’t baked: it’s beautifully made.

Creating original and innovative soft toys in London since 1999, Jellycat continues to combine luxurious fabrics with designs that are sometimes quirky, sometime cute but always with a little something different that makes them stand out from the crowd! The name Jellycat was dreamt up by a child who loved jellies and cats and giggled at the thought of the two together. The silliness of the name was a great reflection of the design and so it stuck!

What makes a Jellycat special? Perhaps it is the way they sit in your hand, the expression that speaks a thousand words or the feeling of holding one close to you… The answer is different for everyone. And that is the magic.
