When I first saw ‘Nina and other little things’ I was hooked. I have a bit of a stationery obsession anyway and when it’s as cute and pretty as this, there is no way I can resist. The whole collection is based around a little biscuit sized character called Nina and she’s described by her creators as “Nina is a “pupetta”. She was born from pieces of cloth: her body is made of natural hemp fabric, cloak of red wool & her face sown in black cotton. She’s like a little red hiding hood… almost invisible to many, she’s sometimes filled with sweet melancholy without knowing why, other times she’s exuberant, or plays lazily with her precious little pearls, or dances the “twist” with reels of cotton. Nina exists only if you see her, and not everyone can.”
Nina is from Italy and comes in the form of notebooks, colour pencils, paper games, rag books, handmade artwork for kids and more. Lots of sweet little things that will bring a big smile to your face. I love the stationary she adorns but I also love the charming and whimsical little character that she is. The the whole little red riding hood vibe makes it all even more adorable. To check out all the lovely goodies head to Nina and Other Little Things where you’ll find a list of stockists too.
If you’re a Red Riding Hood fan, have a look at these plates and bowls from Argentina. They’ve got quite a story behind them!
