Welcome to Mes Amis Toys!
At Mes Amis Toys, creativity comes to life through custom crochet creations crafted with love and dedication. Shayla, the founder of Mes Amis Toys, discovered her passion for crocheting in early 2024 when she made a special set of turtles for her best friends as a Valentine’s Day gift. What started as a simple act of love soon blossomed into a deep passion for crafting toys and statues.
After completing her Bachelor of Science, Shayla worked in healthcare technology. However, a layoff in 2024 provided her with the opportunity to focus entirely on building Mes Amis Toys. With this newfound freedom, Shayla channeled her energy into expanding her TikTok presence, where her crochet statues, including her popular Kaws figure and Super Mario Piranha Plant, went viral. Her love for interior design and DIY projects seamlessly blended with her crochet skills, leading to these eye-catching and imaginative creations.
The name Mes Amis Toys, translates to "My Friends" in French—a nod to our Canadian roots and bilingual upbringing. "Amigurumi," the crochet style we use, perfectly encapsulates our philosophy. Each creation is not just a toy or a statue; it is a member of our circle of friends, crafted with hours of dedication, love, and careful handling.
Our mission is to foster a community where creativity thrives and where crocheters are inspired to think outside the box. By sharing our knowledge and passion, we aim to encourage others to explore the boundless possibilities of crochet. After all, a fulfilling hobby like crocheting contributes to a healthier, more joyful lifestyle.
Join us in celebrating creativity and craftsmanship. As our circle of friends grows, so does our community of artists and creators. At Mes Amis Toys, every stitch is a step towards something wonderful, and we are thrilled to have you along for the journey.
Warmly,
The Mes Amis Toys Team
