Mama San: the home of all things kitsch

Just when we thought an online store couldn’t get any cuter, Mama San came along to steal the show. Based in Brighton, Mama San has been selling kitsch-perfect products since 2003. So if you’re a lover of animals, the 80s or anything generally retro, then this is the perfect place for your purchases. 

Mama San offers us totes, tops, trinkets and a whole lot of pugs. These pug mugs and sweaters are part of illustrator and cartoonist Gemma Correll’s collection, which were exclusively designed for Mama San. Her sweet contributions to the brand are currently the biggest sellers in the store. 

Sticking with the animal theme, their new range of tie-dye animal tees are also too cute to pass up. Teamed with a skater skirt or skinnies, this would be a great go-to item. Not to mention their adorable jewellery, which literally looks good enough to eat. Especially the hot chocolate and cupcake ring, and we just love these wearable girly bits and bobs. 

Another illustrator that contributed to Mama San is greeting card and jewellery maker Rosie Wonders. Thanks to her beautiful “You and me” card, we are no longer stuck for what to choose for Valentine’s Day! 

Mama San has a real youthful and fun feel to it, offering plenty of products for our home, friends and selves. Why not brighten up your day with a humorous coaster or a unicorn notebook?
