  • Lucia

    Owner, Maker

    Hi everyone, my name is Lucia and I have been sewing and stitching for many years. In 1989 I made the first hippo for my, at that time, one year old baby girl Marijke. We now run Mippoos together.

    Owner, Maker

    It all started with helping mom, Lucia, set up a shop in 2013. But drawing has always been a passion, and in 2016 we expanded our little shop to include my watercolor paintings and prints of the adventures our Mippo hippos go on!

How many days does it take you to ship items?

We ship items already made within 3-5 working days and after receiving payment. Made to order listings can vary in time it takes us to get them ready to ship. These shipping times are specified per listing. Your items will be shipped from the Netherlands and you will be notified as soon as they have been delivered to our post office.

What shipping method do you provide and what are your estimated shipping times?

We use standard shipping and can ship worldwide. Your order will usually take 2 to 4 weeks to arrive, but shipment times can vary (e.g. due to customs), so we can never promise a timely delivery. Although we would expect items to arrive within the estimated time, please allow up to 8 weeks, as occasionally items can be flagged for additional security checks on international postage, which is unlikely, but unavoidable.

Custom and personalised orders

Custom orders are very welcome! Do you have something special in mind? See something you like, but you would rather have it in a different color, material or with a different decoration? Anything else? Just send us a message and we’ll see what we can do for you. We love creating custom orders!

Care instructions

Almost all our stuffed animals and nursery decor is machine-washable when using a delicates program. Most doll clothing can also be tumble dried, but we advise you not to tumble dry the stuffed dolls and other stuffed animals.

Sometimes care instructions will deviate from the above. Specific care instructions can be found in the listing's description.

Are your items made in a smoke-free environment?

All our items are made in a smoke-free environment!

Are your items made in a pet-free environment?

We're a mother-daughter team who live separately and one of us has cats. The cats are not allowed in the same room as the items we make and sell, but we can not guarantee a completely pet-free item for those who are highly allergic. Most of our items are machine-washable though, which could eliminate the problem all together.

I accidentally gave you the wrong address and my item has not arrived. Will you reship my order or refund in full?

Unfortunately this is your responsibility. If you realize you have made a mistake in your address when placing your order, contact us immediately. If we have not yet shipped, we are happy to change shipping to the correct address. If, however, we have already shipped, there is not much we can do and we will not offer any refunds.
