Stripey Stork partners with British design brand Proud Couture

May 18th 2016:

Redhill charity Stripey Stork has partnered with luxury design brand Proud Couture to create an exclusive image for a greeting card and print which will be sold to raise funds for the charity’s work.

The beautifully hand-drawn ‘Stylish Stork’ design has been created in the brand’s unique style and features a woman holding flowers, and a bag with the charity’s mascot stork.

Designer of the card, Rosie Proudfoot said: “Proud Couture is very proud to have designed this card for Stripey Stork. Our company seeks to empower and support other women through design and business and we admire what Stripey Stork are able to offer families through their fantastic charity and support network. We hope that with the sales and reach of this card many more people can benefit from what Stripey Stork has to offer.”

Founder of Stripey Stork, Nicola Dawes, said: “At Stripey Stork we’re huge fans of Reigate-based Proud Couture so are excited to be working in partnership to produce this beautiful card. Proud Couture has given us the opportunity to create a card in celebration of the women who volunteer with us, those who donate, and those who we are able to support in our community. We hope they will be enjoyed by those who receive them. ”

The cards, which can be used for any occasion – birthday, thank you or ‘thinking of you’ – are available to buy for £2.50 each (or a special offer of 5 for £10). A mounted print of the design is also available for £22 (unframed) £30 (framed).

Cards can be purchased from the charity’s new offices (Trafford Building, Quarryside Business Park, Thornton Side, Redhill, RH1 2LJ) and at upcoming events such as the Community Festival in Reigate’s Priory Park on July 2nd.

Requests for prints, or for mail order of cards, can be made by emailing treasurer@stripeystork.org.uk

The money raised from the sale of the cards will be used by Stripey Stork to help them support local families in need.

Proud Couture’s wider range of cards and prints can be bought at All About Eve and Taylor Jayne in Reigate, as well as luxury retailers, Harrods and Selfridges.
