Blue Phoenix specialise in city themed gifts which celebrate the architecture and landmarks of cities across England and Scotland. Having already created a whole new market for Birmingham-themed products by partnering with independent creatives, they are now looking to create further design lead products for Sheffield and grow their retailer network in the city.

To do this they are looking to partner with retailers that share their vision for quality products made in the UK that support independent designers and photographers. This way you can help shape the new product lines to what you need for your store and get them exclusively first. The Blue Phoenix team will endeavour to include all landmarks and key locations around Sheffield that you suggest in their upcoming product designs. Below are the product ranges they are looking to partner in creating plus one that is already available.

 

Sheffield Tote Bags - This will be designed to capture the essence of the city through its imagery of architecture and history. The tote bags are 100% cotton with a wide gusset so they are practice for carrying shopping whilst still stylish and would be printed in Sheffield. We would plan to launch the new design in April with you having 60 days exclusivity before it is made available to more retailers. This will be created by the same designer as the below Tote Bag of Birmingham.

Sheffield Postcards & Notebooks - This design will be a collage of Sheffield’s key landmarks created by the artist drawing each one with calligraphy ink brushes before collaging them digitally. The design will then be available in three postcard colours and also as a recycled and lined A5 notebook which features the story of how the design is created on the back.

 

Sheffield Clocks -The acrylic ‘Born & Bred in Sheffield’ and ‘Sheffield Skyline’ Clocks are styled to look like vinyl records and include mention of notable musicians from the city on the label. Each one comes in white box packaging including instructions so they can be handed strait over to your customers. The clocks are already proving very popular at two of Sheffield’s largest museums.

Photography postcards and magnets - With images were exclusively commissioned with their photographer to capture stunning images of Edinburgh that would stand out against the usual postcards for the city. Printed on premium and sustainable card stock the photographer specialises in capturing sunsets and sunrises for the most stunning images. These are then printed as postcards and made into magnets that thanks to specialist paper glistens in direct light.
