About Us

Welcome to our little slice of pastel goth paradise! Here at Perished Plushies, we're all about adding a touch of darkness to your cuddly companionship. Founded by the murky hands of a darkened soul with a passion for both the eerie and the adorable, our journey began with a simple idea:why not blend the enchanting world of charm, brightness, and pastels with the captivating allure of legends, horror, and gothic aesthetics?   
Each plushie in our collection is a labor of love, meticulously crafted to bring a smile to your face and a touch of magic to your day. From mischievous bats laden with stripes and stitches, to sweetly sour cows ready for a bite, every creation is infused with personality and charm.  
But Perished Plushies isn't just about selling plushies; it's about spreading awareness of mental health. The darker side of overlooked humanity. These plushies create a safe dialogue to communicate, and a relatable hug to hold.  We share a love for the quirky, the cute, and the slightly spooky.
We believe in celebrating individuality, healing, mental health, growth, embracing the unusual, and spreading joy one plushie at a time.  
So whether you're a seasoned collector of all things gothic, or you're just discovering the enchanting world of alternative cuteness, we invite you to join us on this whimsical adventure. Come explore, discover, and find your perfect plushie companion. You may find they share more in common with you than meets the eyes. After all, in a world where shadows dance with light and the eerie meets the endearing, there's always room for a touch more enchantment

Our Mission

Each Plush and their story represents something different to different people. They're left un-labeled, ungendered, and open ended, so anyone could see themselves in their little buddy. I had certain conditions of my own I used as a framework when making each one, but, they are broad strokes on a familiar canvas. I don't want to slap a disease on a plushie, forcing a particular static negative representation on a whole group of marginalized people, and mass sell it for profit. I want to tell stories, share experiences of each character...no labels, no disease, no negative connotation. I want to hold up a mirror, and see what's reflected. No shoving people inside of a box, and no profiting from conditions I don't have, and would misrepresent. I want plushies to represent my community, and have people explain why their mammoth or their glyptodon relates to them, instead of forcing a stigma upon them. Let's be open about mental health. Never be afraid to reach out, ask for help, and talk about your human experiences. At the end of the day...we're all human, all beautifully different.
