About Us

The Story Behind the Name The brand name Iris Squishy is a tribute to Iris and Milktea, the beloved cats of our founder. Much like a pet’s quiet presence, our brand represents softness, companionship, and the emotional support found in everyday life.

Our Origin Iris Squishy was born from a simple realization: emotional support does not always need words. During the high-pressure days of university final exams, our founder discovered that the tactile sensation of slow-rising stress toys provided a vital outlet for anxiety and emotional overload. This personal journey transformed a simple toy into a core belief—that sometimes, healing exists quietly through touch.

Our Philosophy In a fast-paced world, we aim to be your gentle emotional anchor. We don't view our squishies as mere problem-solving tools, but as quiet companions for those moments when you feel vulnerable or stressed. Whether you are a student living away from home or an adult who finds it difficult to express vulnerability, Iris Squishy is here to offer a calm, non-intrusive presence.

What We Create. We specialize in tactile emotional-companion products. Our slow-rising squishies are designed for:

  • Emotional Comfort: Focus on softness and familiarity rather than just utility.

  • Daily Integration: Perfectly suited for your desk while studying, your bag during a commute, or your hands while resting.

  • Fandom & Connection: We create tangible objects that translate the emotional bond between artists and fans into something you can hold every day.
