Holidays Are Coming - Update! And Happy Christmas Jumper Day.

Hey guys,

Lots of you supported our designer James' recent blog post regarding our Holidays Are Coming Jumper so we just wanted to give you all an update!

For those of you who missed it, we found a very similar jumper to the one we designed available for sale at www.Boohoo.com and so James blogged about it. We were totally overwhelmed by all the support from you guys - our lovely customers and readers so a huge, huge thanks to everyone who got in touch.

BooHoo got in touch the same day the blog was posted and asked us to remove our original blog post while they investigated which we duly did (in case you wondered why it had disappeared.) BooHoo said they would remove the item from sale while they checked what had happened at their end.

We've now resolved things with Boohoo and as a gesture of goodwill, Boohoo has agreed to pay us a royalty which we will be donating to Save The Childrens Christmas Jumper Day.

They have also agreed to send the remaining stock to a charity of our choice so we will be donating these to the amazing One25 - a Bristol-based charity, specialising in enabling women to break free from street sex-work, addiction and other life-controlling issues and build new, independent lives.

Paddington Movie Out Today!

Big news folks! Yep we care bear-ly (sorry) contain ourselves today as the long awaited new Paddington Bear film will be hitting the big screen today!

Paddington Bear has been with us all of our lives and made his first ever appearance way back in 1958 in his very own children's book series. Coming to us from deepest darkest parts of Peru, with his old red fisherman hat, battered brown suitcase (complete with a secret compartment), big blue duffle coat and love of marmalade, Paddington has become and international children's icon and is still huugely loved today by kids and big kids like us.

The story goes, BBC cameraman Michael Bond bought a small toy bear left alone on a shelf in Selfridges store, London, for his wife Brenda. Named Paddington, after the station close to Michael’s home, the bear inspires him to write eight episodes in just over a week which are later published by Williams Collins and quickly became the UK's Best Children’s Novel!
