The Guess How Much I Love You – The Adventures of Little Nutbrown Hare brand is hopping Down Under and into Peter Alexander stores this month, with a sleepwear range for women, men, kids and babies.
The move will mark the first time the television brand has been available in the Australian and New Zealand retailer.
The sleepwear range is based on the famous meadow friends, transforming the super characters from the award-winning television series into a themed ladies and mens range including long-sleeve pyjama tops, sleepwear pants, a cosy sleep-tee for maternity and plus size perfect for the autumn months.
The kids and baby range includes onesies, long-sleeve and short-sleeve pyjama tops as well as shorts for both girls and boys.
“I am delighted to see the gorgeous characters from Guess How Much I Lov You – The Adventures of Little Nutbrown Hare come to life as part of a Peter Alexander sleepwear range," said SLR Productions’ CEO and executive producer, Suzanne Ryan.
"The television brand and its characters are much-loved in Australia and New Zealand and being part of the Peter Alexander brand makes this the perfect partnership."
Currently on-air on ABC KIDS, the series by Australia’s SLR Productions in-conjunction with co-production partners KIKA-Der Kinderkanal, HR-Hessischer Rundfunk of ARD and ABC KIDS has produced two 78 x 11-minute seasons of the show as well as two 26 minute holiday special short films.
