Collection. The collection includes soft toys of marine life that children love, textiles designed under the sea, submarines and fishing games. A long-term commitment, some BLAVINGAD products are made from marine plastic (OBP) collected inland within 50km of the coastline, making them environmentally friendly and sustainable.
