Q & A
What is your brand’s mission?
We’re all about nostalgia. We are proud to bring back happy memories and joyful discoveries of traditional children’s storybook illustrations from another era.
Is there a particular cause that inspired you to start your mission?
A pack of Racey Helps playing cards started it all… These cards inspired an idea to bring back and share beloved warm childhood memories as a greetings card.
What are your brand values?
Traditional and carefully curated ranges, sustainability and print & production in England. We care about everything we do.
We started with tow of Fiona’s illustrated Fairytale prints & six cards!
A few years on, with our love of nostalgia and inspired by that pack of Racey Helps playing cards, we had an idea of bringing back images from mid-century 1950s to 70s cherished and well-loved book illustrations. We sought the licences to reproduce & publish these images. We also evolved working with other illustrators and artists bringing these images back, under licence.
These illustrators include Molly Bret, Margaret Tempest, Racey Helps and more recently Susan Wheeler’s ‘Holly Pond Hill’ & ‘Foxwood Tales’ in 2023. We are proud to have a robust and truly delightful range of everyday & Christmas greetings cards, advents, gift wraps & tags and lovely papery things supplying shops, such as Gainsborough’s House.
