MEET DCUK - THE DUCK COMPANY

DCUK is the Original Wooden Duck Company. Since 2004 our passion has been creating handcrafted wooden characters that make people smile. Every DCUK duck or feathered friend is a true original, having been hand-carved and carefully painted individually. All DCUK characters are raised from brilliant bamboo root, with our team in Indonesia rescuing discarded roots and transforming them into something more loveable. Based down in Devon, DCUK is ambitious, altruistic, creative and caring. Our mission is to make life a little bit better with our loveable characters.

In 2004 we met a creature that was to change our lives. Outpacing its owner in a field outside an Indonesian village was a very determined Indian Runner Duck. Standing upright like a penguin and equally flightless, the Runner Duck wasn’t like any duck we’d encountered before, and its curious nature, social graces and audacious speed charmed us completely.

       

On returning to Britain, we formed The Original Wooden Duck Company, DCUK. Our aim was simple: to design and hand-craft gifts from the sustainable bamboo we’d seen on our trip. We wanted people to smile when they received our ducks, just as we had when we’d met their living relations in Indonesia. And, thanks to the exceptional skills of our designers and makers, it worked. Now through imagination, charm and quality, we have a product that provides a lifetime of love.

We have incredibly loyal customers at DCUK. Most buy multiple characters to create a talking point within their home and with friends and family, or to give to others as a memorable gift. Our biggest thrill is hearing the genuine difference original DCUK characters make to people’s lives. Whether it’s making someone smile, commemorating positivity and kindness, or improving a person’s way of life – our aim is to spread happiness, which honestly gives us joy time and time again.
