September may still feel like sunglasses, iced coffee and warm afternoons, yet you can slowly sense that something is changing. The days are getting shorter, the evenings more relaxed, and things are getting cosier at home again – and that’s exactly when designs come into play that simply bring that feel-good factor: soft, modern, special. Our new Winter Friends range does exactly that. It combines the slogan “100% cosy” with characters that stick in your mind straight away: Otter Ophelio in a soft knit look, Bear Capiccino with a hat and jumper, Dog Jaxs with striped arms and legs and his unmistakable beard, as well as little penguins with a message, style and collectability❄️🧶

🦦Otter Ophelio is the calm, modern type in this range – soft, charming and with a look that feels particularly luxurious thanks to the high-quality plush accessories featuring a soft, knitted-look embossed pattern. For those who love Ophelio as a classic cuddly toy, he is available in standing versions measuring 20 cm, 25 cm, 35 cm, 50 cm and 70 cm. So everyone can find exactly the right size: from a little companion to a large statement piece. There are also lying versions in 20 cm and 25 cm, which make Ophelio look even more relaxed. The 2-in-1 designs are particularly lovely: a seated Ophelio holding a knitted teddy bear, a 35 cm lying Ophelio with a fish, and a figurative Ophelio with a fish. These little extras not only make him cute but also give his design more personality straight away. For on the go, he’s also available as a keyring, and for the office as a MagNICI. The soft toys wear a turtleneck jumper, whilst the MagNICI and the keyring come with a scarf.

🐻Capiccino the bear is the warm, friendly counterpart to Ophelio. With his hat and jumper, he looks cosy but not old-fashioned – more like a little bit of cosy style for the new season. Here too, the focus is on the accessories made from high-quality plush fabric with a soft, knitted-look embossed pattern. As a cuddly toy, Capiccino is available in dangling versions measuring 20 cm, 25 cm, 35 cm, 50 cm and 70 cm. The different sizes make him versatile, from a small gift to a large favourite. Those who prefer him in a more relaxed pose will also find him lying down in 20 cm and 25 cm versions. The versions with extras are particularly charming: Capiccino the bear with a knitted teddy in his arms as a 25 cm wobbly soft toy, and Capiccino the bear with a cushion in his hands as a 35 cm lying 2-in-1 design. For little everyday moments, Capiccino is also available as a key ring and as a 12 cm MagNICI. So his modern winter look isn’t just for the nursery or the sofa, but also for your bag, locker or magnetic board.

🐶Jaxs the dog is the character that instantly gives the range a cooler edge. He’s not just soft and cuddly, but eye-catching, funny and a bit different. His striped arms and legs and his distinctive beard – which you can comb, style and make smile – make him a design with real recognition value. As a soft toy, Jaxs is available in 30 cm, 45 cm, 55 cm and 75 cm sizes. It is precisely the different sizes that allow his look to shine in different ways: small enough to cuddle, big enough to catch the eye, and in the largest version, a real statement piece for anyone who loves soft toys with character. His world is complemented by the fish in a  turtleneck jumper-MagNICI, which, as a small, playful detail, fits perfectly into the Winter Friends collection and ties in particularly well with the Otter Ophelios theme world.

🐧The penguins bring a unique sense of light-heartedness to the range. The Funny Mini Messengers are little 7 cm soft toys that come with messages. They are available in four designs: the ‘Lucky Penguin’, the ‘Little Hug’, the ‘Little Protector’ and ‘I believe in you’. Each penguin represents a small gesture that you can simply give as a pick-me-up, a lucky charm or a mini-hug for those in-between moments. The 12 cm sitting Funny Penguins lean even more towards a winter look. Here you’ll find the penguin with a hat, the penguin with ear muffs, the penguin with a scarf and the penguin with a muff. Each one wears a different little seasonal detail, and together they look like a stylish little winter crew that you’ll want to collect in their entirety.

The range of key rings and bag charms also retains its modern and playful style. The collection of 12 cm bag charms features Ophelio the otter in four colourways with a carabiner clip: beige, brown, purple and green. This means Ophelio looks not just like a classic soft toy, but like a little accessory with personality. Beige and brown remain pleasantly calm and natural, whilst purple and green add a fresh touch. Each one carries a colour-coordinated handbag featuring either a shell or a fish symbol.

The line’s snow globes add a touch of decorative charm. Otter Ophelio and Bear Capiccino come in an iconic small format, creating a product that immediately looks like a collector’s item, a gift idea and a seasonal highlight.

Winter Friends doesn’t feel like a traditional winter collection that only comes into its own when there’s snow on the ground and the temperature drops below freezing. The range is perfect for September, when you start to feel the urge for new routines, cosy corners and products that bring warmth. From large cuddly toys to small pendants and MagNICIs, right through to cushions, hot water bottles, slippers and snow globes, this collection makes the change of season truly lovely and simple – simply 100% cosy.
