As seen on the BBC! Our little Mallard Duck Baseball Cap is made for a life of adventure and escapism.
THIS CAP SAVES OUR BRITISH WILDLIFE 🦆. For every sale of this cap, 15% of the profits will be donated to Dorset Wildlife Trust.
With their beautiful coloured feathers, mallard ducks are the most recognisable wild ducks in the Northern Hemisphere. Found near water where they feed on plants, fish, insects & invertebrates, they eat by dipping underwater with their feet & tails in the air. The males are the colourful ones whereas the females have duller mottled brown feathers.
Twice a year ducks moult, losing their flight feathers & grounding them for a few weeks until they grow again. They fly in flocks, in the famous V formation like most migratory birds, in search of warmer weather. Little ducklings are able to run, swim and find food from their second day and can be seen following their mother in sweet little line. Ducklings are a wonderful sign of spring and new beginnings, their lovely yellow colour reminding us of brighter days to come.
This casual unstructured hat is embroidered to-order in our Bournemouth studio & shipped in plastic free packaging.

Each little Blue Panda design is conceived, sketched & brought to life by our in-house artist Steve.
"I’ve always loved animals & have been drawing them as far back as I can recall, dragging wildlife encyclopedias around with me as a small child.
Rediscovering this passion as an adult brings me full circle & I love the fact that I’m able to keep the entire process in-house.
From a simple sketch I can bring the animal to life with the use of stitch types, angles & thread colour choices - embroidery digitizing is an art in itself & I absolutely love doing this part of the process.
With each design I try to capture the spirit of the animal and I hope you can feel this too."
