Slimies Collection

Explore our unique collection of slimy-themed items, part of the National Trust-commissioned project, ‘A Letter to the Earth from Beatrix’ by the Japanese artist Hideyuki Sobue. This series is Hideyuki's heartfelt tribute to Beatrix Potter, reflecting contemporary society through the Victorian-era tradition of anthropomorphising animals. Each item celebrates the legacy of Beatrix Potter, capturing the timeless charm of her ‘Little Book’ animal characters while delving into themes of culture, politics, ecology, gender, and art history. The collection originated from Hideyuki's encounter with a toad in his backyard. Inspired by Mr. Jeremy Fisher, one of the most popular characters created by Beatrix Potter, these slimies reflect the contemporary comic culture in a comical and satirical way. Celebrate British wildlife and support environmental awareness with our exclusive collection, perfect for nature lovers, art enthusiasts, and fans of Beatrix Potter. Discover the collection today and bring a piece of this enchanting series into your home.
