Enjoy Lladro's creations, perfect for Christmas gifts.

The seventh piece in Lladro's renowned fairy tale collection, "Puss in Boots," makes its debut. The European fairy tale "Puss in Boots" was introduced as "Master Cat" in Charles Perrault's 1697 collection, "Tales of Mother Goose." More recently, Puss in Boots gained immense popularity through the hit movie "Shrek," with a 3D film starring the feline protagonist scheduled for release in 2012.

A vibrant piece where deep blues and reds contrast with gold, its richly detailed embroidery on the costume is a testament to the delicate craftsmanship unique to handmade art. This enhances the piece's rich details.

Additionally, the new Autumn/Winter collection includes heartwarming pieces such as Lladro's "Christmas Ornaments" and the "2012 Year Ball," perfect for Christmas gifts.
