These gorgeous dolls are so spectacular and Canadian and they need some love!!!❤️
Hey fellow Canadians! Can we chat? I need some help.
As you know, it's been a really difficult few days here at Bamboletta. Sadly, our dolls are included in the Trump administration’s new 50% tariffs on Canadian goods. As a business that grew online, about 80% of my business is from the US, which is the case for so many of us creatives here in Canada.
Bamboletta employs 24 people, mostly women and stay-at-home moms, and we make our dolls right here in Canada, sourcing Canadian materials whenever we can.
Here's what I'm hoping you can help me with, if you see a post asking for Canadian made businesses, would you tag Bamboletta? If you know someone who might love our dolls maybe send them our way? And if you have ideas for getting the word out to more Canadians, I would genuinely LOVE to hear them.
I’m still the one woman marketing department over here, alongside sewing all those little doll faces, so every share, tag and recommendation really does help.
And to my fellow Canadian makers caught up in all of this, if you need someone to scream into the void with, I’m here.
