Padmore Culture brings a new collection inspired by the classic Little Women by Louisa May Alcott. Artist Ben Berry takes a modern look with a vintage approach to the March sisters.  

The artist was inspired by the muted plaid clothes that were used in the period the story takes place. "I wanted to pluck out the old palette of tartan and plaid, with musty tones of red, and blue, and twist it with illustrations and design elements, like the font and hand-drawn frames that mimic what we're seeing in modern-day fashion shows and stores.

First came the book. With its striking new cover, Little Women has never looked as quaint and contemporary at the same time. The March sisters' faces are of modern young women who yearn for a little simplicity. The four sisters are tight as ever and their posture reflects their inseparable bond.

With quotes directly lifted from the book, Ben Berry's designs, again combining old and new, make these mugs a great companion to the book.

What can we say, but just laugh! Here it is, a contemporary catchphrase, "SISTAS" mixed up with vintage elements and, of course, the sisters dressed in plaid. Perfect for the modern generation of girls who are exposed to the March sisters for the first time. 

If you either declare your love for the boy next door, ahem Laurie, or if you are perfectly fine with being Miss Independent, the choice is yours to make and nobody else. 

There's more to see, including pillows and buttons with famous quotes, where each sister's idiosyncrasy is revealed. Click below to see for yourself.
