Trends come and go. This is only natural for any society. But for Xsampa, there have only been two major consistent trends. An adoration of cats, and yaks. And now a third major trend which has taken Xsampa by storm. Plushies. Ever since the start of the decade, Xsampans have increasingly become infatuated with plushies of all sorts. And demand has risen drastically. Various social enterprises have looked to cater to this demand, but only one has managed to properly capitalize on it, and become a favorite for Xsampans. Peluche Déwa. 

It's no secret that Xsampans love cute and adorable things. One simply has to look for the endless love that Xsampans have for cats and yaks. So when it comes to plushies, it makes sense why Xsampans are having high demand for it. Peluche Déwa, is one of the many Social Enterprises within the Xsampan Market, and as the name implies, specializes in the production of high quality plushies for the domestic market. Founded in 5689 by two siblings from a worker co-operative in Rindrak who wanted to share their vision of childhood joy from a plushie, Peluche Déwa has been able to quickly capitalize on the market demand for plushies, not by focusing on high quality or realism, but by focusing on the one thing that every plush arguably needs cuteness. Even with firm competition from other Social Enterprises, Peluche Déwa has managed to secure a very loyal, almost cult like following. Even without the focus on cuteness, Peluche Déwa has managed to grow by embracing what makes Market Socialism work. Supply and demand. Limited edition plushies, unique themes (such as Comrade Yudron the Yak), and even collaborative efforts with local artists and designers to make sure every design is unique, and filled with soul.

Ever since Xsampans started craving plushies, it's simply been up and up for Peluche Déwa. And befitting a Social Enterprise, Peluche Déwa has looked to set itself as an example, for other Social Enterprises, and for how a successful Social Enterprise should conduct itself. Surplus profits that Peluche Déwa has, has often gone towards humanitarian drives abroad, looking to provide money for organizations abroad who help those in need, and providing plushies for those in need. 

With the trend showing no sign of dying down, Peluche Déwa has a clear grip on the plushie market, but competitors are on the rise (as they should be), and Xsampans can only welcome more plushies.
