The Timeless Charm of Mr & Mrs Tin
Mr & Mrs Tin brings the magic of the past into the present with a collection of beautifully crafted, limited-edition wind-up robots made from recycled tin. Founded by Alain de Rauw, a lifelong toy industry expert with a passion for vintage design, the brand celebrates the artistry and joy of classic toys. Each robot is numbered, hand-assembled, and packed in a retro-style box, making it a true collectible. With bold colors, mechanical charm, and nostalgic soul, our robots delight design lovers, collectors, and kids-at-heart. They’re perfect for gifting, decorating, or simply sparking childhood memories—and they make especially great Father’s Day gifts for dads who appreciate quality and creativity. Mr & Mrs Tin is more than a toy—it’s a story you can wind up and share across generations.
