Our Story

Company
Camden Rose is a collective of designers, artists, teachers, musicians, craftspeople, and parents, who choose to create a better future for our children. We began in 2003 following the success of the Cherry Rattle (formerly Rudy’s Rattle). After establishing ourselves as a respected design and manufacturing firm of imagination-based toys, we have grown to include items for the home, schools and child-centered organizations.

Each item we sell is meticulously constructed by craftspeople that specialize in their art. Our items are not mass-produced, rather they are created one-by-one, the old-fashioned way. Our toys are constructed to last multiple generations. We use the highest quality materials, all certified non-toxic. Toys made from natural materials such as wood, silk, wool, cotton or beeswax have a warm and honest quality. It is our responsibility to provide an environment that tells the story of our world honestly and at the same time protects that world.

Unless noted otherwise, all items offered by Camden Rose are made in the United States with natural materials. By utilizing skilled American craftsmanship, we assist in the renaissance of great American manufacturing. We also employ the remarkable skills of a Fair Trade worker (women)-owned cooporative near Lima, Peru. We diligently work to broaden the notion of family to include everyone in need of assistance. We feel that all people should have equal opportunity to flourish in life.

Although we are growing in the variety of items and production quantities, we will still retain our personal touch. When you order from Camden Rose you are ordering from a family business, and when you call, you will more than likely be speaking with one of the owners.
