Step into the fascinating time machine that is Atelier du Chat's remarkable history. Since it was founded in 1982, Atelier du Chat has been spreading joy and wonder through their handcrafted models. Founded by the ingenious artisan, Yvette DuBois, in the picturesque town of Chartres, France, the brand earned recognition and adoration for its unique stylings and sophisticated craftsmanship. It's truly inspiring to see a brainchild of such creativity grow into an internationally acclaimed brand known by toy collectors. An interesting tidbit not known to many? Yvette began her venture with a tiny workshop, thus the name “Atelier du Chat”, meaning “workshop of the cat”.
