Franklin the Duck Soft Toy

Meet Franklin the Duck, a gentle storybook friend brought to life from our hand-painted duck print. Designed by hand and lovingly made by hand, Franklin is crafted with care, featuring a hand-stitched face and beautiful details that make every piece truly unique - no two are ever exactly the same.

Soft, cuddly, and full of character, Franklin is made to be held close, taken on little adventures, and treasured for years to come. Each soft toy comes tucked inside a matching canvas bag, along with a story card that introduces Franklin’s world and invites little imaginations to wander.

Materials: made with a soft polyester outer and inner filling, chosen for its gentle feel, durability, and ability to hold its shape through years of cuddles and play. Each toy is carefully finished by hand, so every friend has their own little personality.

About the Brand:

'At the heart of Fledge & Thread is a desire to bring joy to childhood - to create pieces that spark imagination and surround little ones with a sense of wonder.'

Fledge & Thread began in the quiet moments of early motherhood - when the house was still, and our little girl, just four months old, drifted off to sleep. It was during those nights, that I picked up my paintbrush, searching for the perfect soft furnishings to bring warmth and nostalgia to our children’s rooms as we renovated their spaces.
What started as hand-painted designs for their walls soon grew into something more. We launched Fledge & Thread with homewares, but the pull of childhood - the kind we were brought up on - led us to expand into children’s apparel and bedding.
