- The plushies are sewn by hand, so expressions and other details vary from one item to the next. Unless an item is defective, returns and exchanges are not accepted.

About Kiramekko
Carrying favorite plushies and mascots has become a trend in recent years, especially among younger generations. In response, Kiramekko was developed as an accessory plush brand that goes beyond ordinary character goods. It is meant to bring people's favorite characters closer, to make everyday life more fun, and to work as a gift for someone special. Its biggest feature, and the origin of the brand name, is its "sparkling (kira-kira) eyes." These eyes are meant to gently soothe the owner and bring a happy feeling every time they look at them.
