Design Description
Pearly King Morph was inspired by the original Pearly King, Henry Croft. Born in London, in the 19th century, he was an orphan street sweeper that over his lifetime collected a lot of money for charity wearing clothes decorated with mother-of-pearl buttons. He was so well known that there is a statue of him in St Martin-in-the-Fields in Trafalgar Square, so I wanted to give Morph a Pearly King make-over to hit the streets of London and put smiles on people’s faces!
