Jellycat is a British soft toy and home décor company,[1] known for its plush toys and collectibles. Founded by brothers Thomas and William Gatacre in London in 1999, the company expanded into Minneapolis in 2001, forming Jellycat Inc.[2]
While the company mostly sells soft toys, it also sells books, nursery items, bags and other accessories.[3] The longest serving design is likely their Slackajack Monkey who will celebrate his 25th birthday this year.[4]
