Chantilly Lane

Chantilly Lane

Founded in 1979 as Pacific Balloon Co. in Los Angeles, California, PBC International was one of the the first latex balloon imprinters to innovate silk-screen imprinting on latex balloons. So how did we become Chantilly Lane®, one of the world's best designers of musical, animated plush? Here's our story.

In 1988 PBC International, Inc. moved their base of operations from Los Angeles to Ventura, and eventually to our current home in Oxnard, California where we built our design, marketing and distribution center. With the expansion of our facility, we also expanded our line of products, including our line of singing, animated plush animals that came to be known as the Chantilly Lane Collection.

Chantilly Lane's very first piece of singing, animated plush was Ashley, our lovable chenille bear with the big red hat who sings 'I Will'. The amount of care that went into the design of Ashley set the standard for each piece of plush designed by our company.

All the Chantilly Lane characters are designed and created in our in-house design studio where our designers can put up to a hundred hours into the research, development and design of just one piece. It is this attention to detail that makes Chantilly Lane so special and sets us apart from all the other plush companies. Since the birth of Ashley, Chantilly Lane has created well over 200 pieces of singing, animated plush, each with same amount of thought and care that was put into Ashley.
