About Pocketlings

When 10-year-old Olamide couldn’t find brown plush dolls that looked like her, she did what kids do best—she imagined something new. She started sketching the dolls she wished existed, and those drawings became the heart of Pocketlings. Pocketlings is our mom-and-daughter brand rooted in representation, joy, and belonging. Each plush doll in our Abundance Collection carries a meaningful Nigerian name, a vibrant personality, and a message that reminds kids they are worthy, brilliant, and deeply seen. We create high-quality, huggable dolls and affirmation-filled books designed to celebrate culture and confidence. Pocketlings isn’t just a toy line—it’s a joyful movement built from love, creativity, and the belief that every child deserves to see themselves reflected in the world.Read their story
