This is us!
We're Suzie & Nicci, sisters who love play but are not fans of tidying up.
We started Stuffel back in 2015, when we had 8 children under 10 between us. The constant tidying was so frustrating - we felt like we were endlessly picking up Lego pieces off the floor.

We had a playmat/drawstring bag when we were kids, but there was nothing like it available in the UK at the time. We watched friends improvising by tipping toys into sheets and picnic rugs, and realised there was a gap in the market.

Not known for our sewing skills (!) we found a small family-run textile factory in the heart of Staffordshire. Norma was our first contact there and remains an absolute rock; over coffee and swatch books, Stuffel bags was born.

Simplifying tidy-up meant we could embrace playtime with our kids instead of focusing on the mess.
We're delighted that our kids can rummage for hours, our carpets are Lego-free and we get to share the Stuffel way with you all!
