Our Story

When life felt different

During the pandemic, everyday life suddenly felt unfamiliar. Going out, seeing friends, and making plans became difficult. I often felt low, tired, and unmotivated.

A little moment of joy

Then I discovered my first squishy: a soft, white Chinese bao. I squeezed it again and again, watching it slowly spring back. My worries were still there, but for a moment, I felt a little lighter.

From curiosity to craft

That small moment made me curious about different shapes and textures. I began collecting squishies and fell in love with making them by hand. I wanted to share that little joy, and Malloo was born.

A softer everyday

Today, we make soft, playful handmade squishies in our own factory. We hope each squeeze gives you a moment to pause, whether your day feels busy or heavy. A little softer. A little brighter.

Malloo — hold a little joy in your hands.
