Spreadshirt to License Mr Bean Clothing

PRLog (Press Release) - Jan. 31, 2012 - Spreadshirt (www.spreadshirt.co.uk), the leading multi-channel clothing commerce platform, has today announced an agreement with Zodiak Rights, the licensing agent for Mr Bean, owned by Tiger Aspect Productions Ltd to produce a range of clothing with designs showcasing the comedy character.

With over 17 million Facebook fans, the original Mr Bean series starring Rowan Atkinson has become known all over the world.  Mr Bean first aired in 1990 and there were only 14 episodes ever made.  The series has been sold to 245 territories worldwide and is winner of an International Emmy and the Golden Rose of Montreux.

The range of clothing is now available for sale via the Mr Bean Facebook page (www.facebook.com/mrbean) where devoted fans of the show can get their official merchandise. Fans of the show will also be able to customise their shirt in the design, colour, style and size of their choosing.

Philip Rooke, CEO at Spreadshirt says “We are pleased to be working with Zodiak Rights on this clothing licensing deal for Mr Bean. The Spreadshirt online platform means that Zodiak Rights are able to offer fans of the cult series a much wider choice of products featuring the much loved odd-ball without the usual risks for license holders of having to buy and store large stocks.”
