One of DRi Licensing's most popular properties, the Caroline Gardner brand is aiming for further growth this year in the stationery, homewares and accessories categories.

Blueprint's extensive stationery range - which includes diaries, address books and notebooks, all featuring the brand's distinctive floral designs - are now in-store, with plans to extend the range further in 2010.

In addition, Halcyon Days has enamel pots, mirrors and bangles which feature the Union Flag design, while Aquarelle is also tapping into the giftware sector with a new signing for a range of collector's edition prints.

Next month's Spring Fair will see the launch of new Fox & Chave silk ties and scarves, while there will also be a children's stationery line from Portico Designs.

"Caroline has an incredibly loyal and wide fan base, and we are very excited to see the expansion of her artwork onto an array of products and into new sectors," said Alicia Davenport, licensing director at DRi. "With a number of imminent new launches, 2010 looks set to be a very successful year for the Caroline Gardner brand and will build on its established High Street presence."
