Love & Stitch's Safety Policy

Our handcrafted items are created with the utmost care and attention to detail. This guide is provided to ensure our products are used safely and as intended. 

Our dolls and other creations are primarily made from a variety of high-quality yarns, including a selection of cotton and acrylic blends. In addition to our yarns, we also use a range of other materials to create unique and detailed designs, such as safety eyes, beading, stuffing, wire, and various embellishments. Every material is carefully selected to ensure the final product is not only beautiful but also durable and safe. 

• Choking Hazard Warning: Most of our products, particularly our personalised dolls, contain small parts such as safety eyes, buttons, or delicate beading. These components, if they become loose or detached, can pose a significant choking hazard to infants and young children. We strongly recommend that children are always supervised by an adult during play.
• Intended Use: Some of our products are designed for play, while others are purely for decoration. Always read the specific notes on each product listing to understand its intended use. 
• Product Care: To ensure continued safety, please check the product regularly for any signs of wear and tear. Regularly inspect the product for signs of wear and tear. Discontinue use immediately if any parts become loose, damaged, or detached.
• Allergy Advice: Our products are made using materials sourced from third-party suppliers. While we are happy to provide details of the yarns and materials used where available, we cannot guarantee that our products are free from allergens, chemicals, or traces of substances introduced during manufacturing, packaging, or transportation. Customers with allergies or sensitivities should contact us before placing an order.
• Ahimsa & Cruelty-Free Commitment: We strive to select materials that are free from animal-derived fibres and by-products, reflecting our commitment to the principle of ahimsa, or non-violence. Material information is based on specifications provided by our suppliers.

Important Safety Disclaimers: Our items are handcrafted keepsakes and are not certified toys under UK or EU regulations unless otherwise stated. While we take every precaution to ensure the quality and safety of our products, some items may contain small parts and may not be suitable for young children. It is the responsibility of the purchaser to determine suitability for the intended user and to ensure the item is used, stored, and maintained safely. 

Please refer to our Care Instructions for guidance on how to properly clean and maintain your handcrafted items. Proper care will help preserve the integrity of the product and its components, ensuring it remains safe and beautiful. 

We may update this policy to reflect changes in our business practices. We will post the revised policy on this page, and the updates will be effective immediately.
