FROM BEST ABROAD to FATHER RABBIT MERCHANT
We have been operating in the wholesale space since 2014. Best Abroad Limited is the company name and we have recently decided to trade as Father Rabbit Merchant. We felt this is clearer for our customers to understand the Father Rabbit Story as we continue to develop our stationery brands Father Rabbit and Lettuce into a bigger more global offering.
Our plan for the future is to find international distributors in new global markets. It also makes sense if we want to have a retail offering in other markets to go under the trusted Father Rabbit name.
Father Rabbit Merchant is a small team consisting of owners Nick Hutchinson, Claudia Zinzan. Sales manager Emma Silver and production and logistics manager Maria Lovelace.
We also work in with corporate collaborators to produce bespoke stationery or packaging. Please do get in touch as we would love to hear from you.
