It’s hard to believe how far we’ve come in just one year! Starting our own business has been a dream come true, but it’s also been a journey filled with challenges, growth, and moments of joy. As I reflect on our first year of trading—and the excitement of receiving our very first truckload of products a year ago —I wanted to take a moment to share the story behind Viculii (vee-koo-lee) and how we’ve worked to create something special for families like yours.
Why We Started
As a mum myself, I know how important it is to find baby furniture that’s practical, stylish, and safe. When I started Viculii (vee-koo-lee), my goal was simple: to offer parents thoughtfully designed pieces that make life a little easier while fitting beautifully into their homes.
After working in the nursery industry for over 15 years, I saw the need for furniture that not only supports parents during those early, busy years but also grows with their children. That’s why our collection focuses on versatility and elegance—from foldable cots, mini, space saver cots to toddler towers—so that every piece is both functional and timeless.
A Big Moment: Our First Truckload of Products
One of the most memorable moments in this journey was seeing our very first truckload of products arrive. It was a surreal experience—knowing that every cot, cot bed, and learning tower on that truck had been designed with so much care and thought. That shipment marked the beginning of something bigger than just furniture; it was the start of building trust with families and creating solutions that make a real difference in their lives.
What We’ve Learned in Our First Year
Our first year in business hasn’t been without its challenges. As a small startup, it’s tough to get noticed in a competitive industry, and building trust with customers is a gradual process. Securing stock, managing shipping costs, and navigating the logistics of running a business have been lessons in resilience and creativity.
But what has kept me going is my unwavering belief in our mission and the incredible support I’ve received from family, friends, and our amazing customers. Your kind words and feedback inspire us to keep improving and innovating.
The Values That Guide Us
At Viculii (vee-koo-lee), we design every piece of furniture with heart, purpose, and our commitment to quality.
- Safety First: all our products meet and exceed the highest British safety standards, ensuring your little ones are always safe and secure.
- Ethical Manufacturing: we’re proud to say that every item is made in Europe, where ethical practices and high manufacturing standards are upheld.
- Functionality Meets Style: from our convertible cot beds—which transform into junior beds and last from newborn to around six years old—to our space-saving mini cots with drop sides, every design is made to simplify parenting.
And let’s not forget our learning tower Explorer—a favourite among toddlers and parents alike! This tower help your little ones safely join you in the kitchen, fostering independence and making everyday moments more interactive and fun.
Celebrating You: The Role of Customer Feedback
One of the most rewarding parts of this journey has been hearing from you—our customers. Your feedback has been invaluable in helping us refine our designs and create furniture that truly meets your needs. Whether it’s a parent sharing how a foldable cot made grandparents life easier or how a toddler tower brought their little one closer to family activities, these stories remind us why we started in the first place.
Looking Ahead
As we move into our second year, we’re more determined than ever to continue growing and improving. We’re excited to introduce new designs, expand our collection, and keep building a brand that parents trust.
