F. Hinds welcomed Disney legend Jim Shore for two meet-and-greet events at their stores this September.

Shore’s collection, titled Disney Traditions, is available to purchase from the family-run jewellers, offering its shoppers a unique range of much-loved Disney characters and scenes to purchase in-store and online. The ornaments are perfect for gifting or to add to personal collections, with a variety of unique designs to choose from.

Jim Shore made a visit to F. Hinds Merry Hill on Sunday, 24th September and Meadowhall on Tuesday, 26th September, as part of his 9-stop European tour, concluding with a visit to Disneyland Paris on Saturday, 7th October.

The events saw nearly 200 loyal fans queueing to meet their award-winning hero for a chance to chat over the stories behind the artwork and the personal meanings to each individual. Visitors then had the opportunity to pose for a photo and get their purchases signed.

“It was a true honour to welcome legendary Disney creator to two of our F. Hinds stores this September for fantastic meet and greet events with his loyal followers. We have been lucky enough to stock Jim’s designs for many years now, and to have him visit all the way from South Carolina was an absolute pleasure.
