Blabla was created in 2001 by us, Susan Pritchett and Florence Wetterwald, two good friends with the same philosophy of life and beauty. While visiting Peru, they came across entire villages of expert knitters who had been keeping the tradition alive for generations. Inspired by their talent and the incredible quality and softness of Peruvian cotton, they decided to start their own company of cuddly knitted products for children. Joseph, Flo’s husband, joined a couple of years later.
Florence is a French artist who studied sculpture and industrial design in Europe and the USA.
She is a nature lover, and the creative force and designer of Blabla.
Joseph is from Atlanta and is passionate about music and car racing. He is Blabla’s locomotive and CFO.
Susan is from Albany Georgia. She worked as a photo stylist in NY and Australia, and now lives on her animal rescue farm in Athens. She is in charge of communications.
BEAUTIFULLY HANDMADE
Our products are knitted and embroidered patiently by amazingly skilled artisans, one stitch at a time, one day at a time, each one is unique.
FAIRTRADE
Blabla has its own atelier in Peru. We’ve been working with the same artisans for 15 years and care very much about our small Peruvian team.
Our dolls are knitted from high quality natural Peruvian fibers which make them incredibly soft and huggable.

Each of our dolls has been tested to meet the US and European safety requirements. Our yarns have been additionally certified to be safe and non toxic.
