Purl and Humphrey - The Happy Hippos

Purl & Humphrey – The Happy Hippos

Warm-hearted, contented, and very fond of one another, Purl and Humphrey are Rupert’s House’s most affectionate couple.

Purl is the organised one. She likes things just so, believes a tidy space helps everyone relax, and has a reassuring way of making guests feel instantly at home. Humphrey is softer round the edges — laid-back, endlessly cuddly, and convinced that most problems can be solved with a sit-down and a snack. Together, they are inseparable: a perfectly balanced partnership full of laughter, warmth, and very big hugs.

Hand crocheted from 100% British recycled cotton yarn, each hippo is packed with super-soft stuffing, making them wonderfully squashy and irresistible to cuddle. Their generous, big-bottomed shape, bell-shaped noses, and little cup ears give them their unmistakable charm. Finished with embroidered eyes, they’re designed to be comforting, characterful home accessories that make people smile.

Available individually in pink or blue, Purl and Humphrey are statement pillows, floor cushions, or comforting companions — equally loved by children and adults. So big they could be classed as a hippo-lot-amus, they truly have a lot of love to give.
