I love a charitable cause and Children’s in Need has gone all fashionable on us and teamed up with some fab designer’s to rework their iconic bear that is known as Pudsey. Designers including Giles Deacon, Henry Holland, Jonathan Saunders, Erdem, PPQ, Mulberry and even one of my fav department stores, Liberty London has done one, and all complete with a cute eye patch.
All the beauties in the Designer Pudsey Collection are up for auction, well I have been a little slow on the up-take so most have already been snapped up, but the Louis Vuitton – complete with case, Topshop, Pringle of Scotland, and Jonathan Saunders haven’t finished yet. If you are still looking to snap up a piece of fashion history I would go for Saunder’s funky bear as it is currently only £255, compared to the Vuitton, which is already at over £16k!!!
I still have a Pudsey bear from way-back-when, but come on I would love to have swap it for the ‘silver leather dream machine’ created by Giles inspired by his spring/summer 2012.
The best bit about this project was that I was able to see the bears up close in Liberty’s and even though I couldn’t afford to bid I got postcards of them all to put up in my new room. Well every little helps!!!
