OUR STORY
We’re Le Toy Van. A big hearted, honest talking family business with a lifelong passion for creating traditional wooden toys.
Our story began over 25 years ago. Meet Georges Le Van. Founder and creator of the first ever Le Toy Van toy, our beloved wooden Dolls House.
His vision was simple. To create beautiful, unique toys, lovingly made with intention to stand the test of time. Georges son Steven was the inspiration behind the brand, testing out and playing with his father’s wonderful creations throughout his childhood. Today he proudly carries on his father’s legacy.
Our toys continue to spark young imaginations through learning based fun, ready to be cherished and enjoyed for a lifetime of play.
OUR MISSION
"We are Le Toy Van, designing unique wooden toys for a happy childhood, using responsibly sourced materials from sustainably managed forests, we pledge to make our products plastic free, changing the world one toy at a time."
OUR VISION
“Creating the most fun and unique sustainable wooden toys, bringing endless joy to little ones.”
FATHER AND SON DUO
Georges & Steven are like two peas in a pod! Proudly making sure that the company are always adapting & recognising trends, environmental impacts and ethical practices. They are and always will be thinking about the next big thing!
TEAM SPIRIT
Today we sell our classic toys all over the globe, whilst still retaining those same beliefs that we first set out with.
Our team of talented toy makers design right here in the UK. And, we only partner with ethical manufacturers where every piece is mindfully made, crafted from solid, repurposed wood.
We’re happy to have picked up a fair few awards for our toys along the way too, covering everything from design, quality, safety, sustainability and educational and play value. We’re always striving to improve our products and always adhere to the highest industry standards.
We hope you feel inspired to explore our toy shop, bursting with imaginative treasures that bring the magic of play to life, today and for generations to come.
