What do associations, charities and local authorities usually need?

Most organisations need a recognisable character that represents a logo, a place or a cause and that a volunteer or staff member can wear comfortably at events.

A mascot is usually worn at fairs, fundraising days, sports events, school visits, town festivals and public information campaigns. The costume has to be easy to recognise from a distance and comfortable enough for a performer who is not a professional.

Some organisations already have a logo or a character. Others only have an idea. Both cases can be handled, either with a ready-to-customise model from the catalogue or with a fully custom project.

• A character based on a logo, a sketch or an idea
• A costume that several volunteers can wear in turn
• Comfort for outdoor events and long days
• A budget shown excluding VAT, which suits invoicing by public bodies

What should you choose: full costume, head or accessories?

Choose a full costume if the mascot will appear on its own, and a head only if you already have a body or outfit to match.

A complete costume includes the head, body, gloves and shoes. Most full models cost 846 € to 966 € excluding VAT. A head alone costs 576 € to 646 € excluding VAT, and most heads are 616 €.

Optional extras can be added to the quote. These include a cooling vest, a balaclava, extra gloves and a bag. An extra pair of shoes is also an option, which is useful if two performers will take turns in the same costume.

• Full costume: head, body, gloves and shoes
• Head only: when the rest of the outfit already exists
• Cooling vest: for warm days or long appearances
• Balaclava: worn under the head, handy when several people share the costume
• Extra pair of shoes: for a second performer
• Bag: for carrying and storing the costume

How does an order work, step by step?

You send a request through the quote form, receive a free quote within 24 hours, validate the design, and production takes about 10 working days.

The steps below show the usual path from request to delivery.

• 1. Choose a catalogue model to customise, or describe a custom project with a logo, sketch or idea in the quote form.
• 2. The team replies within 24 hours with a free quote, without obligation. Prices exclude VAT and taxes.
• 3. You validate the design with the team.
• 4. Production starts and takes about 10 working days after validation. A Fast Delivery option produces the costume in 24 hours.
• 5. Tracked delivery is added. The delivery time and cost are shown before payment.
• 6. For orders outside the EU, customs fees can apply. They are shown at checkout and in the quote.

How do you choose the size and keep the performer comfortable?

Give the team the details of the person who will wear the costume, and plan for ventilation and breaks, because a mascot costume is warm to wear.

Say in the quote form who will wear the costume and mention if several people will share it. A balaclava helps with sharing, and an extra pair of shoes avoids swapping footwear.

For summer events or long appearances, add a cooling vest. Plan short appearances with regular breaks in a shaded place, and have a helper guide the performer, since visibility from inside a head is limited.

How do you care for and store the costume?

Let the costume air after each event and store it dry, in a bag, with the head protected from crushing.

After use, take the costume off and let it ventilate before putting it away. This is especially useful after a hot day or when several people have worn it.

Store the head so that it keeps its shape and nothing is placed on top of it. A bag, available as an option, keeps the costume together and protected between events. The warranty lasts 2 years.

How do you plan the date of the event?

Count back from the event: allow time for the quote, the design validation, about 10 working days of production and delivery.

Production starts after the design is validated, so a quick validation saves time. Delivery time and cost are shown before payment, so you can check them against your event date. No delivery date is guaranteed in advance.

If the date is close, ask about the Fast Delivery option, which produces the costume in 24 hours, and mention your event date in the quote form. Leave some margin so the performer can try the costume before the day.
