Claris joins Jasnor’s stellar stable of iconic brands and characters
She may be pint-sized, but Claris the mouse has been on more adventures than most! From fashion shows in Paris, to a seaside adventure on the French Riviera, to a thrilling dash through the streets of New York, this beloved fashion-designer mouse has featured in five best-selling children’s books (published by Hardie Grant Children's Publishing, with half a million copies sold worldwide), written and illustrated by Megan Hess. The series follows the delightful rhyming tales of Claris, the chicest mouse in Paris, and her friends as they embark on exciting adventures around the globe!
Jasnor is excited to announce that we have been appointed as the manufacturing and distribution partner for Claris, holding global rights to design and manufacture premium plush, stationery, accessories, nursery and feeding products, to bring the beloved character to life! Already famous for popular children’s book characters including Paddington, Peter Rabbit and The Very Hungry Caterpillar, Jasnor is pleased to welcome the pint-sized Parisian mouse to our stable of iconic brands.
We couldn’t be more thrilled to have been appointed as a master manufacturing and distribution partner to bring the beloved Claris to life! Since our first meeting with the delightful and down-to-earth, author and fashion illustrator extraordinaire, Megan Hess, the team at Jasnor have fallen in love with the curious and, of course, chic, little mouse”, says Jasnor’s CEO James Thurlow. “We admire Claris for her kindness, empathy, sense of adventure and, of course, her creativity. This little mouse is brave enough to follow her dreams but always has time to help those in need. We hope to bring this spirit to life with our Claris collection - starting with sophisticated soft toys, stylish stationery and accessories as well as a mealtime range – each adorned with some extra special glamour – from pom poms to gold leaf detail to a gold Claris sew-in label. We are certain the range will be adored and treasured by Claris and fashion-obsessed fans across the world”. We can’t wait to see what adventures Claris will take us all on next!”
The global merchandise campaign for Claris will begin on shelves of the iconic FAO Schwarz in New York City for Christmas. From February 2023, Jasnor will be partnering with exclusive retailers in Australia and New Zealand to see the bold and brave mouse come to life in-store.
