If you’re new to this iconic Danish brand, let us guide you through its story and show you why it has captured hearts around the globe!
The Story of Maileg
It all began in 1999, when Danish designer and illustrator Dorthe Mailil, along with her husband Erik, brought Maileg to life. The name combines their family surname with the Danish word leg (meaning “play”) to reflect their vision: creating toys that spark joy and inspire children to play freely. Dorthe’s artistic background and love of storytelling shaped Maileg’s signature style—a blend of Scandinavian minimalism and nostalgic whimsy. Each toy and accessory is designed to create a sense of wonder, blending soft colors, intricate details, and a touch of vintage charm.

Today, Dorthe continues to lead Maileg’s creative journey, releasing new designs each year to expand the magical world for children (and collectors!) everywhere.
