Bespoke 77 is launching a new range created from sketches for Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland in the original Lewis Carroll books and manuscripts owned by the British Library. The classic fantasy adventure book was first released in 1865.
The book’s famous Mad Hatters Tea party is celebrated with a range of fine gilded bone china cups and saucers, a teapot, cake stand, tea plates and mugs.
The new Alice range also features aprons, a heavyweight canvas shopping bag and tea towels, plus collectable gifts.
Mark Tomlin, md of Bespoke 77 reflects on the enduring appeal of Alice and her Wonderland acquaintances: “Beautiful design spans the boundaries of time. This partnered with great quality products makes for a desirable and converted gift or collectable that will be cherished and valued forever.”
He also acknowledges the current trend for making teatime an occasion: “Teatime or afternoon tea afford us the opportunity to escape from the reality of our hectic life and indulge ourselves in a traditional and civilised moment of tranquillity.” Mark adds: “Whether a garden party or tea at the Ritz, for a moment we can escape into a world of fantasy.”
