All Creatures Great & Small

Rabbit & Cabbage was one of the first prints we designed.  We launched it on a deckchair in 2006.  It has remained one of our all-time best-sellers.  Over the years we have tweaked the design a little, but the deckchair remains true to the original.

Rabbit and Cabbage Deckchair
Inspired by tales of Peter Rabbit and the Flopsy Bunnies running amok in Mr McGregor’s garden, the design is filled with nostalgic references to our childhoods. The chocolatey brown and vivid green of the vegetable patch, the lazy buzzing of insects on a summer’s afternoon, and the secret delights of the English country garden.

Like all our designs, our Rabbit is drawn in intricate detail. We were particularly pleased with the results when we first inked him up – the image shows every ripple of fur on his pelt (wet with dew and chocolately brown from a rummage in the cabbage patch).

Rabbit & Cabbage has inspired a lot of love from our customers old and new.  The design is also available in grey

We were absolutely delighted when one of our lovely interns, Grace Evetts, decided to bring our Rabbit to life in this beautiful video. It’s great to see our Bunny hopping around his veg patch, nibbling on a cabbage.
