Meet the Pods

Every pod has its own personality

Pick up a bean pod. Shake it — hear that soft rattle? That's the original seed, still tucked safely inside. Every pod grows into its own shape, so every buddy made in our studio is genuinely one of a kind.

With yarn hair, expressive eyes, miniature glasses, fabrics, flowers and hundreds of natural decorations to choose from, you'll design a little character from start to finish — then take it home as a bag charm, keychain, or car charm.

" Shake it. Listen. That gentle rattle is your buddy saying hello.
