About the Designer
Hi! I am Kaylyn. I live in Charlotte, NC with my five incredible kids. I am passionate about imagination and storytelling, and how they can encourage children to know their own unique place in the world. As an Enneagram 4w3, I also love rare + beautiful things and I am always looking for how my passions can be used for meaning and the good of others. It also means I have a lot of big feelings and love romantic comedies while trying to accomplish some big dreams. I am living my best life when I am doing epic made-up bed time stories and whisking my children away to made up lands full of unlikely characters.

How it all got started:
Dunlap Love began in 2007 when I started hand stitching quirky plush toys for my own daughter that birthed a love of creating for others. My friends started asking for toys too, so I quickly bought a sewing machine and taught myself how to use it. The years since have been full of original designs and a whole lot of hands on learning. There is a myth out there that I am a master seamstress and I am here to tell you that is just not true. Don't ask me for sewing machine help either. I am not your girl.

The Land of Dunlapia launched in 2015 with a desire to create a world where children can connect to their plush friend through story + play, fostering low tech play and encouraging emotional connection. You can read each character's bio to get to know them a bit. A children's storybook launch is in the works where you will get to know them even more!
