This design features a cute cat character dressed in traditional Welsh costume. The shapes are soft and rounded, with clean, even lines and a restrained colour palette — black hat, red top and patterned apron all sitting neatly against the bright background. The outfit is based on traditional Welsh dress, associated with rural life in the 18th and 19th centuries, and now most commonly seen on Dydd Gŵyl Dewi (St David’s Day) or during an unexpectedly fierce dawnsio gwerin dance-off in the backstreets of somewhere like Hay-on-Wye. The tall hat in particular has become one of the most recognisable Welsh symbols, even if many only encounter it once a year. There’s something nicely fitting about the pairing. Cats already carry themselves with a certain level of authority, so adding full national dress only seems to confirm what they suspected all along.
