Cath Kidston Mini Tripper Crossbody Tote Bag Care Bears Believe in Navy Blue PVC Reverse Coated Cotton

Product Information

Inspired by the original watercolour paintings by Elena Kucharik in the early ’80s, the limited edition collaboration – organised in association with Bulldog Licensing – aims to play on the nostalgia and love of colour and print that is used regularly by Cath Kidston to deliver its recognisable products.

Cath Kidston has announced it has hand-painted its new range of wistful and dream-like prints to celebrate the 40 th anniversary of the Care Bears™. They were great. They were excited and supportive of the creation of the print. We never use the assets singularly – we always paint the scenery they go in – and Bulldog were really excited to see these print evolve.

I also love that these new artworks continue to pass on this sentiment as it’s why Care Bears were originally conceived, to be used on greeting cards.

Speaking of a shared vision, the Care Bears range manages to feel both very Cath Kidston and also very Care Bears. One brand doesn’t overwhelm the other. How do you navigate getting the balance right? We really study the drawing style and often purposefully take a different drawing style to shine a light on the original. We also combine the two unexpectedly as this helps create the impact and sense of modernity, while respecting the original artwork. Care Bears is a brand that highlights a caring community and inclusivity; one that cheers others on. This felt like a really important message to illustrate this Christmas, and to do this in such a cheerful way was really heartening. This is all done through colour and character and felt so natural with our florals and paint marks. I was hopeful people would respond to the collection – the unapologetic joy cutting through today’s bleak news stories! – and they really did.
