Little Packrats Backpacks featured in Designed for Kids
Saturday, February 14th, 2009From nursery to pre-adolescence, from strollers to lamps, from chairs to toys, there is an entire world of “high design” waiting to be discovered by parents with design sense and style—if they know where to look. Phyllis Richardson has done the research for parents everywhere, trawling the blogosphere, poring over countless catalogues culled from around the world, reviewing every design Web site, and applying her own practical judgment as a mother to present over 450 of the most wonderful objects available for children.
Here’s what Phyllis Richardson writes about Little Packrats…”Drawing on her art education and first-hand knowledge of what appeals to children, designer Cathy Berse-Hurley makes packs with bold graphic images of animals in vivid contrasting colours that feature well-crafted details such as coordinating patterns on the reverse side of the pack and protruding ears, tails, or a lion’s mane. The backpacks are made in extremely durable, colourful, washable vinyl.”
