Inside Out Toys appointed UK distributor for Santoro’s Bangoberry stationery and accessories range
Inspired by the vibrant world of
Bingo Bango Island, Bangoberry combines whimsical animal characters, tropical
design elements and tactile materials to create a stationery and accessories
range that appeals to anyone young in years or young at heart. Drawing
on the popular kawaii aesthetic, the collection blends creativity,
collectability and playful design, making it a standout addition for gift
retailers, visitor attractions and toy shops.
The Bangoberry range features a
mix of novelty stationery, pocket-money items and giftable accessories
including spinning pens, wobbly pens, pencil-shaped erasers, notebooks,
character pouches and backpacks. Many items sit at accessible pocket-money price
points, starting from just £1.75 RRP, making them ideal impulse purchases for
children while also appealing to teens and adults who enjoy whimsical
stationery and accessories.
Among the standout pieces in the
collection are the furry notebooks, which feature soft tactile elements that
add an extra sensory dimension, as well as the silicone stretchy pencil cases
and animal-inspired pencil cases designed around the brand’s colourful
characters.
Collectability also plays an
important role within the range through the Bangobob charm system – a series of
personalisable and tradable charms that can be added to compatible accessories,
encouraging children to mix, match and collect their favourite characters.
The brand centres around the
playful “Bango Bunch”, a cast of adorable characters including Tiggy Tiger,
Pally Panda, Remy Raccoon and Piggy Pig, each bringing their own personality to
the collection.
The range is supported with
bright retail display solutions including floor display units and counter
displays designed to highlight the pocket-money products and drive impulse
sales in-store. In addition, Bangoberry is backed by wider brand activity from
Santoro, including digital content and the development of a Bangoberry-themed
Roblox game, helping to build awareness and engagement with younger audiences.
Inside Out Toys believes
Bangoberry will resonate strongly with its existing customer base of
independent gift shops, garden centres, museums, zoos and visitor attractions,
where colourful, collectable and pocket-money products perform particularly
well.
Julian Garner, Managing Director
at Inside Out Toys said:
"Bangoberry is a bright
and characterful range that fits perfectly with the types of retailers we work
with. The playful design, tactile materials and strong pocket-money products
make it an easy addition for gift retailers, particularly those serving
families and children. We’re excited to introduce the brand to our customers
and believe it will quickly become a popular impulse range in-store."
Tara Strickland, Head of Design
at Santoro, added:
"Bangoberry was created
to spark imagination and playfulness through its whimsical characters and
colourful design. Each member of the Bango Bunch brings their own personality
to the collection, making each piece of stationery feel fun, collectible and
unique. We’re thrilled to see the range expanding in the UK with Inside Out
Toys and can’t wait for even more customers to discover the adorable world of
Bangoberry."
Bangoberry stock will be
available from 1st July 2026 through Inside Out Toys, with
display-led starter options available to help retailers introduce the range
in-store.
Inside Out Toys also plans to
showcase Bangoberry at the Home & Gift Buyers’ Festival in Harrogate this
July, where retailers will be able to view the full display range and meet the
team.
