The Story Begins

I can vividly recall the moment I embarked on this incredible journey. It all started with a simple desire – a desire to find toys and gifts for my own son that were truly exceptional, crafted with care and precision, and brimming with the kind of quality that could stand the test of time.

I searched high and low, scoured countless stores and websites, but what I found was an overwhelming sea of mass-produced, low-quality toys and gifts that simply didn't meet the standards I had set for my child.

The Birth of a Legacy.

You see, my son deserved the very best. I refused to compromise on the quality and meaning of the toys and gifts I wanted to share with him. I happened across the handcrafted, wooden toys, crafted by Duncan that now form our legacy collection.

I watched him and spent hours with him, digging in the dirt. We had to quickly leave our home and we grabbed his digger and dozer from Duncan. My son kept coming back to it, day after day, it was his solace, his joy and a familiar foundation.

I realised I had found treasures that would someday become a part of his own legacy and wanted to bring these to other discerning families.
