Diddl Relaunch Sells Out in France and Wallonia, Europe-Wide Expansion Planned for 2026

The 64-item collection leans on familiar designs to appeal to nostalgic adults as well as children.

Overview

  • Diddl products returned to stores on October 1 in France and Belgium’s French-speaking Wallonia through distributor Kontiki.
  • Kontiki says demand exceeded expectations, with several items selling out within days of launch.
  • The new lineup includes 64 products such as writing pads, pens, stickers and plush toys.
  • Kontiki initiated the comeback and approached creator Thomas Goletz after sales had halted in France in 2010 and in Germany about a decade ago under Depesche.
  • Kontiki plans broader European distribution in 2026, and Goletz indicates Germany is slated to be part of the rollout.
