Spirit in Winter — Our New Seasonal Tote Bag

Updated: Nov 6


Just in time for the colder months, we're delighted to unveil a brand-new design from Poundbury artist Mary O'Flaherty - introducing the 'Spirit in Winter' tote bag, a stunning seasonal addition to the Poundbury Good Things range.

Printed on lightweight cotton, this beautiful tote has been made especially for this time of year. It's practical yet full of imagination - perfect for rolling up and keeping in a pocket or handbag, or for using as a gift bag or stocking filler. It's a beautiful way to carry a little Dorset magic with you wherever you go.


Mary's new design brings to life a magical winter scene featuring Spirit the hare, our beloved Love Poundbury motif. This time, Spirit is shown in his thick winter coat, leaping across a frosty field, while sheep on Maiden Castle gaze up at a single bright star in the night sky. Overhead, a tawny owl swoops down clutching a sprig of mistletoe, and, tucked away in a quiet corner, a tiny mouse curls up asleep, snoozing away the winter chill.


Reflecting on the design, Mary said:

"With 'Spirit in Winter' I wanted to capture that quiet, magical moment in nature when the world feels still but full of life. The rich, jewel-like palette - deep indigo, russet, silver and midnight blue - reflects the beauty of the season. It's a celebration of winter itself, and of the landscape and wildlife that surround us here in Dorset."
