Trotting Dog Launches a Debut Stationery Collection So Stylish Even the Dog Will Love the Postman
NEWPORT, England, May 3, 2018 (Newswire.com) - Stationery enthusiasts and dog lovers will be delighted with the blend of canine humour and on-trend sophistication in this timeless collection of stationery classics. Subtle canine silhouettes and illustrations with a hint of humour have been created appealing to animal enthusiasts worldwide. Toasting the art of personal communication, Classic Hound features luxury letterhead, notecards, printed envelopes and greetings cards in individual and beautifully boxed gift sets.
Launching on 9th May 2018, four striking ranges spotlight key 2018 colours and dog breeds. ‘Russet’ is based on Spike the Vizsla the four legged ginger muse behind the company. Heritage cream combines with dove grey and russet to offer a sophisticated colour palette for this flagship range. ‘Grey Dog’ pays homage to Weimeranas unique colouring subtly combining ice blue with cool grey. ‘Whippet’ captures the vibrant essence of this graceful dog fusing modern lime with intense arcadia green. Finally, a limited edition range ‘Indigo’ available until the end of July is influenced by Pantone colour of the year, ultraviolet.
As one of the 24%* of households in the UK and over 60 million households in the USA** with at least one dog as a pet I wanted to create a distinctive and relevant range of staple stationery classics to appeal to the millions of dog lovers around the globe. People still love the intimacy of writing and are turning back to handwritten letters and notes. Choosing luxury paper stock and creating elegant illustrations with a touch of humour means this new collection is a perfect fit for those who seek quality and love to gift.
