Character housewares specialist Vogue International has joined forces with the RSPCA to create a colourful, eye- catching range of products featuring two different designs, a beautiful white pony and a very hairy, very scary looking tarantula! A donation will be made to the RSPCA for every product sold. Comments David Pannett, UK Sales Manager for Vogue: “We are delighted to be working with one of Britain’s most iconic, charitable institutions, which has been doing fantastic work since it was founded way back in 1824. “The graphics look great, especially the huge black and orange hairy tarantula which is sure to appeal to young boys and who knows, maybe some girls as well, though we think they are more likely to opt for the cute, white pony design.” Initially, the product range will comprise an aluminium sports bottle (RRP £4.99) and an insulated lunch bag (RRP £8.99). For further information please telephone 01865 340 500 or email sales@vogue-ltd.com
