The story of Elin
Birthed under the creative mastery of Elin Pantzar in 1950, in Sweden, the Elin brand activities echoes the beauty of simplicity and novelty. Elin Pantzar, having made her first-ever toy for her son, found an immeasurable amount of joy in the process that she took a leap of faith and started the Elin brand. One fun fact is that all Elin toys initially were without colour, but as they gained popularity, Pantzar started to add colours to the toys, and this is how the brand's iconic colourful ceramic miniatures came to life.
