About Victoria Jean
Have you been fabric shopping in the Middle East? They have this 1-meter minimum rule, and they are pretty hard-set on it. Well, I couldn't find some of the things I wanted my first baby to have. For example, I couldn't find any cute camel toys - a must-have for a baby born in Dubai! However, I did not need a meter of fabric for all the camels! What to do?
The idea was born shortly after my daughter's own birth. And here we are, with my beautiful daughter, Victoria, providing me with the company's namesake and all the inspiration behind these loveable toys that help your Little One feel home here in the Middle East no matter where you're from -- oh, and they help me rotate my fabric stash.
