Ella is flock’s lovely and fun co-op student. here she talks about one of her favourite flock pieces in her own words.

“what first drew in my eye to this one of a kind plush hippo was the beautiful fabrics. on one side the brown patterned fabric is sturdy and sophisticated. it reminds me of skyscrapers and businessmen on a coffee break. this strong material is then married to a joyful blue, pink, ivory and green floral fabric. the flowers remind me of fresh gardens in the middle of summer. the pale blue is comforting and relaxing all at the same time. the cherry on the top of this wonderful mixture is the pop of coral, which pulls everything together.

as if these colours and patterns were not the only things calling out to me, they have been put together to make a hippopotemus! the random combination of flowers, brown, coral and a hippo may seem weird to some. to me, it is completely genius. not only is this plush hippo easy on the eyes, but it can also be used as a comfortable pillow. and comfort isn’t all – on one side a pocket a provided for safe-keeping of small, important items. think about it, no one will steal your candy again!

with that kind of protection, this plush hippo is not just a decoration, it is also a necessity!”
