The English Ladies Co. are celebrating over 65 Years of Paddington! Introducing handcrafted figurines and teaware inspired by Peggy Fortnum’s beloved illustrations.
Joining this year’s already exciting new launches from the English Ladies Co., we are thrilled to announce a brand-new collection of Paddington figurines, designed to captivate and delight collectors and gift givers of all ages. These charming figurines, made from the finest china, are entirely handmade and hand-painted, ensuring each piece is a unique work of art.
Inspired by the beloved illustrations of Paddington’s first artist, Peggy Fortnum, our Paddington figurines capture the essence of the world’s most loved, iconic bear, bringing him to life in the highest quality and attention to detail.
There are 4 petite figures in the first launch phase, standing 16.5cm tall and designed either in a classic colourway or a contemporary 2D, monochrome style. Each petite figurine features Paddington in his classic duffle coat and bucket hat, clutching his trusty suitcase ‘in case of emergencies’.
The first design of the petite Paddington figurines is called ‘Please look after this bear’ – the message, taken from Micheal Bond’s stories, is inscribed along the base where Paddington stands, along with classic motifs and icons of his newly found London home town.

The second design features Paddington holding a big bunch of vibrant flowers, named ‘Love from Paddington’ and follows the same pattern along the base of the figurines, upon which Paddington stands tall. The craftsmanship behind these pieces is truly exceptional, remarkably conveying Peggy Fortnum’s illustrative style onto the ceramic model.
Lastly, the English Ladies Co. have created a large size Paddington figurine, completed in earthenware, with the same handmade and hand-painted finish as the other pieces in the range. Standing 25.5cm tall, this large size Paddington figurine makes a wonderful statement for any table or windowsill etc. Holding both his trusty suitcase and bold bunch of flowers, Paddington is sure to brighten any room, for generations to enjoy time and again.
A new brand launch by the English Ladies Co. could not be complete without their signature cup and saucer set. Handmade in fine bone china and finished with real platinum detailing, this teaset (or coffee set) is fit for royalty – just like when Paddington had high tea with the late Queen Elizabeth! Ma’amalade Sandwich Your Majesty?
Perfect for parents and grandparents to nostalgic Paddington fans of any age, with original illustrations of Paddington by Peggy Fortnum to commemorate Micheal Bond’s true legacy.
To make this collection even more special, each figurine comes beautifully gift-boxed, making them the perfect present for any occasion. This launch marks an exciting milestone for the English Ladies Co., combining two quintessentially British brands.
As Paddington would say, “A present is the best way to show someone you care.”
