Noodoll was created in 2010 by London-based designer and author YiYing Wang. Inspired by the shapes of the noodles and rice of her native Taiwan, Yiying created a character called Noodoll, which started life as an illustration in a children's book she wrote and illustrated, before leaping off the page and into plush toy form. After meeting a small team of toymakers in Taiwan who were willing to take a chance on the Noodoll dream, the NooDoll brand grew gradually over the years, and is now home to a close knit group of designers, makers and packers who all share a passion for quality products that are made to be loved for a lifetime. The same team of highly skilled Taiwanese craftswomen that joined the Noodoll journey back in 2011 continue to make all NooDoll toys. Alongside the popular plush toys, the Noodoll range has grown with stationery, accessories and collaborations with talented designers.
Junior Edition is a family owned children's concept store in Brighton, UK, established in 2015. We focus on small-batch design and ethical production, stocking a curated selection of beautiful heirloom brands and products for babies and children from newborn to age 13: from clothing, shoes and accessories to design-led toys, books and crafts.
In 2020 we extended our selection to include womenswear and lifestyle products for the whole family. At the end of 2025 we will open our first standalone store for women just a few doors down from our original children's store.
