In-Depth Review
Softness with a Conscience
Stocking an Airbnb with toys often means finding things that are cozy yet easy to clean. The 'Amazônia' set by Carioca Eco-Toys features a Jaguar, a Macaw, and a Sloth, all handcrafted in Peru. These aren't just plushies; they are a tribute to South American biodiversity. Every element, from the organic cotton shell to the plant-based dyes used for the vivid patterns, is Cradle to Cradle Gold certified, ensuring that no heavy metals or endocrine disruptors enter your guest's environment.
Crafting Change in Peru
This product is part of a social enterprise initiative that employs artisan women in rural Peru, providing them with fair trade wages that are significantly above the local average. The labor transparency ensures that every stitch contributes to community development. Each toy comes with a small QR code on the tag that guests can scan to see the story of the artisan who made the set.

- Machine washable on delicate cycle – essential for rental units.
