The Standard Poodle story

GERMANY & FRANCE

Drawn as an original engraving in its own landscape and printed as a full archive plate. Comes as a tee, a sweatshirt, a hoodie, a print and a pack of cards, from £30.00.

Pudeln is German for splashing about, and the Poodle began as a water retriever on the rivers and marshes of northern Europe, sent out after duck. Even the clip was practical, the coat cut back for swimming with cover left over the joints and the chest. France adopted the breed so completely that most people now assume it started there. The intelligence is genuine and mildly inconvenient, because a Poodle given nothing to do will invent a project of its own. Owners also know the coat, which does not moult but mats, and the sensitivity that makes a raised voice land harder than intended. Rather than draw the show trim, the archive plate takes the head and coat in a natural state, closer to the animal that once fetched birds out of cold water.

The Standard Poodle plate

Every plate in the archive is drawn from scratch as a natural-history engraving, the breed set in the country it was made for rather than floated on a white background. The Standard Poodle is Archive No. 013. The drawing is printed as a full plate across the back of the garment, nothing on the front, and the same plate is used for the print and the cards.

Garments are made when they are ordered, so nothing is printed until it is wanted and nothing is held in a warehouse. UK orders are printed in the UK and North American orders in the USA, which keeps the parcel on the same side of the ocean as the person waiting for it. If it is not right when it arrives, it can go back within 30 days.
