Little Evil Stuff is a collaboration between Yiyi (myself) and Yuemei. I have been working as a multimedia designer for 5 years, but I’ve always love working on handmade items as hobby. Yuemei started as an illustration artist, and she was in love with doll making after seeing how her illustrations get turned into a physical creature.

I was really into felt toys about 3 years ago, I made a series of animal egg warmer during Easter season and it was quite a success on etsy and among blogs. That was when I started making toys and selling them online. I wasn’t really good at keeping up the production at that time and I was more focusing on my multimedia career. 3 years later, the market for handmade stuff has become more mature than ever before, I revisited the idea of creating a handmade brand and decide to collaborate with Yuemei after seeing her beautiful work.

There are a lot of influence from Asian illustration style. A lot of expressions are inspired by Japanese Manga, they are really good at describe complex expression in simple graphics. We are big fans of Happy Tree Friends. I must confess it is evil to laugh at innocent characters’ misfortune, but I guess everyone has a little dark side behind their bright and beautiful dream.

Cotton, thread, stuffing, the obvious stuff. We try to find op shop stuff and unused fabric as much as possible, but they run out very quickly! We use a lot of raw cotton fabric in our work, so if you have any of them lying around, feel free to send them to us.
