Art brand Jimbobart, which was among the exhibitors at last month’s Top Drawer, is extending its licensed housewares products. New deals include tabletop, textiles and barware via Pure Tabletop, which will launch later this year. Elite Tins continues as a licensee, with products including cake, biscuit and sandwich tins.
Founded by illustrator James Ward in 2009, the company has seen rapid growth over the past two years, with an art exhibition scheduled for later this year.
“It’s great to see the momentum building up in the licensing programme, with activity happening worldwide and more projects in the pipeline,” said James. “I’m so happy to share my love of nature and wildlife with a growing audience. It’s lovely to hear stories from happy customers about their relationships with the animals and characters featured in my illustrations.”
At Top Drawer, James showcased Jimbobart’s British Wildlife tableware, with a percentage of all sales donated to the Sussex Wildlife Trust.
Top: Jimbobart’s expanding licensing programme is spearheaded by The Point 1888, which includes sub-agents in America and Iberia helping the brand to grow internationally.
