THE PRINTED PEANUT
Founder and freelance illustrator Louise Lockhart started The Printed Peanut back in 2012 as a way of applying her drawings to quality products - bringing colourful illustrations into peoples homes! Her fun, cheerful designs are dreamt-up in worlds where animals wear hats, the flowers are neon pink and there are ice cream shops everywhere you look!
The idea for the business came after Louise graduated from Glasgow School of Art, spent a few years travelling and got a job working in a beautiful stationery shop in Vancouver, Canada. This inspired her to start her own line of illustrated products, so she set up a basic screen printing operation in the bathroom of her tiny apartment printing sheets of patterned paper and cards. Realising there was a gap on the market for quality party games, she began making her version of Pass the Parcel (fuelled on peanut butter!) and so The Printed Peanut was born.
Louise's product range rapidly grew from paper based cards and stationery to homeware like tea towels and ceramics. When her good friend started a local soap making business, she jumped at the chance to package it in her own designs. The soap was a massive success, being stocked in shops and galleries all over the world.
Based in the hills of Yorkshire, Louise works from home in a beautiful converted cotton mill that she and her husband spent four years renovating. As well as single-handedly running her businesses, Louise still works on children's books such as baby board books for Nosy Crow and in the past the Harry Potter series for Bloomsbury.
Delighted with the handkerchiefs. Great concept hope you do well going forward. Thanks
I was pleased to be offered unscented sheets and have since been pleased with their performance.
Website easy to negotiate and also pleased to use a UK firm.
So all round pretty pleased.
I recently came across green tulip; recommended by a friend. I was delighted by the products I saw and placed a gift order immediately. I received an incredibly personalised note in response to my order; even making me aware I had added a gift box to an already boxed product and an offer to refund me the gift box; a very honest and trusted exchange. Upon arrival the gift was magnificent quality.
Would recommend to everyone
Wow, I was blown away by the quality of the two makeup bags that I ordered. The material is such lovely quality, and the colours are stunning. I'm absolutely thrilled with my items. They were really nice packed too, which made them extra special to open
