A Mr Men or Little Miss Tea Cosy
This knitted Tea Cosy is made by Fee Fee La Fou Enterprises.
We just love surprises, don’t you? So, when purchasing one of these charming tea cosy’s you’ll actually be delving into our lucky dip barrel. As a result, you won’t know which Character you’ll be giving a home until he or she lands on your doorstep.
Long live spontaneity & Lady Luck!
Each Tea Cosy is knitted by hand, using the finest quality wool, before a Mr Men or Little Miss Character is hand-stitched on to its front.
In 1971, illustrator Roger Hargreaves created a drawing of a “Mr Tickle” to demonstrate the meaning of tickling to his son Adam – an orange orb with long, bendy arms. Hey presto, the birth for the very first Mr Men character.
Over 40 years later, the Mr & Little Miss family, now with more than 90 characters, are loved across the globe, by all ages. In 2006, Adam Hargreaves created the first Little Miss Character based on a real person, Stella McCartney, which he named Little Miss Stella. The book was published as a limited edition of 1,000 copies & used as invitations for her S/S07 show.
Due to the delicate nature of the fabrics used, please gently handwash in cold water or dry clean.
Please contact us directly though if you have a particular Mr Men or Little Miss in mind as we do also work to commission.
The tea cosy is to fit a standard 2-4 Cup teapot.
It is 18 cm x 20 cm.

Fiona Duffelen is a multi disciplinary artist who loves to paint, print, collage, sculpt & sew. She exhibited her work internationally before setting up her studio in Hackney Wick.
Her alter ego Miss Fee Fee La Fou is the Founder & Ringmaster of this three-ring spectacle.
She was the first Sprechstallmeister to wear pink top hat & tails.
The daughter of Leonard Zelig, a mimic, she has been dubbed the Human Chameleon for she has an extraordinary hidden talent – the ability to blend almost seamlessly into intricate backgrounds with careful application of body paint & a bit of acrobatics.
She studies her chosen location for hours before painting herself or other subjects to blend in, taking both texture & perspective into account in order to ensure the complete success of this unusual disappearing act!
Her dressing room Dreamland is a neon nirvana; a cornucopia of kitsch for it contains thousands of pieces of original neon art including a miniature replica of Vegas & Arthur Windley’s miniature funfair, which he built for his own amusement, in his garden shed over a 40-year period.
