Barbour is collaborating with the much-loved children’s character Paddington Bear for this year’s seasonal campaign. This friendly, kind-hearted bear from Peru, with his old hat, battered suitcase, duffle coat and love of marmalade has become a classic character from British children’s literature. Written by Michael Bond and illustrated by Peggy Fortnum, the first book, ‘A Bear Called Paddington’ was released in 1958 and remains a children’s favourite.
Barbour’s seasonal film includes the original Peggy Fortnum illustration style which has never been animated before. Emotive, fun, and heart-warming, Barbour’s festive film follows the mishaps and adventures of Paddington Bear as he comes up with an idea for a thoughtful gift – full of nostalgia, it celebrates the joy of giving a very special present that means so much. Watch the full film below.
To support the campaign, Barbour is launching a children’s Paddington Bear collection. Soft jersey sweats and hoodies in navy, red, grey, and ecru feature alongside nightwear all with humorous Paddington Bear illustrations by Peggy Fortnum – some with a Barbour twist – to make the perfect festive gift. With accessories such as cosy wellington socks to keep the youngsters of the house, snug and warm on winter walks.
