Playful, clever, elusive, each with a unique personality and that cuteness overload factor, like how they hold hands while they sleep- no wonder the otter reigns as Scotland’s official favourite animal.

For all the otter fans out there like us, we’ve created a new range that captures their charm, joy and grace.

We hope you love it as much as we do, let us know what you think!
