Ecommerce platform adds beloved character to its growing licensing business
Spreadshirt has added the classic French children’s book, The Little Prince, to its collection, under license from Euro Lizenzen. The self-expression e-commerce company will initially include more than 12 simple and elegant designs from the beloved novella by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry.
The ageless and international appeal of the book means that designs will be available on merchandise for both children and grown-ups, from t-shirts to accessories like bags and phone cases. The collection will be available for sale via Spreadshirt Marketplace in the UK, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Poland, Italy and Spain and through Amazon and eBay.
The Little Prince is one of the world’s best-loved characters. The continuing universal appeal of the book’s message of love, peace, and friendship, means that Euro Lizenzen’s The Little Prince has evolved into an iconic brand which bridges generations. The Little Prince is the most translated non-religious book in the world, with more than 150 million copies sold worldwide in more than 290 languages and dialects.
The customisation aspect of Spreadshirt will give fans the opportunity to truly create something in the style, colour and size to suit them. The print-on-demand offering makes it easier for licensors to offer a wider choice of designs, without the levels of expenditure and risk normally associated with merchandising.
