Our story

Rufni

Where softness meets purpose

Rufni started with a simple question: why is it so hard to find soft toys you can actually trust? We are a small team in Barnes, London, and we do one thing — find well-made toys from makers who care about safety and materials, and bring them to your door.

Every toy we sell is tested to EN 71. Many are made from recycled bottles. All of them are here because they are genuinely lovely things to hold, to give and to keep.

Why Rufni

Rufni icon

Curated, not crammed

Four trusted makers, thirty-five toys. No filler and no bulk imports — every item earns its place.

Rufni icon

Safety checked

Tested to EN 71, with the age guidance from the maker on every product page, not guessed at.

Rufni icon

Recycled where it counts

The Keeleco and Eco Nation ranges are made from recycled plastic bottles, filling included.

Wrapped by hand

Packed and posted from Barnes. A plush toy is almost always a gift, so it leaves here looking like one.
