The Origin Of the Company Name "Petit Loup" And Our History
Hello, teddy bear lovers! I'd like to share the origin of our company name, Petit Loup, and our history. Enjoy with tea and a bear by your side!
Sometimes we are asked, "Hey, what does Petit Loup mean?" And even though most of the products we sell are teddy bears, what is in the company logo? Wolf? The name Petit Loup may spark your curiosity.
"Even the unliked wolf in the story will always have a lovable guy!"
The president, who had a yearning for France and the West, pulled out a French dictionary and thought about it this way and that. In fact, our company name "Petit Loup" was created by combining the words "petit" (small) and "loup" (wolf) from a French dictionary when the president was a student.
