Once upon a time. What once upon a time?
Τhe Rabbit Knows, a cartoonist from Greece, collaborates with It’s all, oh so souvenir to me!, and together they carry a series of his drawings, creating the brand new tote bag collection, Anarchy in Fairy-tales! Focusing on fairy tales told differently, through the socio-political prism of Greece today.

From Alice in Wonderland to the Little Red Riding Hood and the enigmatic Little Pony to the (not so) Sleeping Beauty, The Rabbit Knows creates heroes that may seem innocent and naive but turn out to be unorthodox, sarcastic and so shrewd. With just one image and two lines, he comes to suggest a seemingly oblique but so logical and charming other reading of the world.

Taking form in a unique, witty and reactive tote bag collection made out of 100% organic cotton in very practical shape and various colours.

Designs
Anarchy in the Sleeping Beauty – anthracite tote bag
Anarchy in Fairy Tales – light green tote bag
Anarchy in Little Pony – white tote bag
Anarchy in Wonderland – natural tote bag
My great big brat and 10 parrots – mint green tote bag

Description

Once upon a time. What once upon a time?

Stories told to us when we were young to help us fall sleep. Tales told to us by adults so as to keep us awake.

Seven dwarfs and the economy. Cinderella and austerity. The big bad wolf and riot police. Tales we tell ourselves and tales we’ve been told.

Fairy tales imagined! Creatures of our imagination and creatures that conqueror our imagination.

Crayons, computers, scrapbooks, the internet, roller skates and tanks. Homework and military service. They took the lollipops out of our hands and bombed us.

We never grow up, nor do we want to stay young.

In between, and yet, a subtle, silent, tenacious belief in something better. A hidden will to open a crack between the stories we’ve learned, to unfold the stories we want to tell and the dreams we want to live.

Anarchy in fairy tales.
And did they live happily ever after? And did we? We will say.

The Rabbit Knows

The Rabbit Knows is a self-taught cartoonist and sketch artist, who creates unique, imaginative sketches with a political, satirical and philosophical content, challenging the stereotypical views of human society. His clever, black humor, may come across as innocent and childish, in the same way as his sketches, but his sharp tongue and controversial points of view stand out and are, in fact, disarming!
