Flounder Cat All Designs are Hand Drawn by Nina

Nina, also known as Flounder’s mom, is an award-winning artist, animator, and children’s book illustrator whose creative passion shines through every piece of her work. With years of experience bringing whimsical characters to life, Nina has found her greatest inspiration right at home — in the form of her beloved fish, Flounder the Purrmaid. Flounder isn’t just her muse, but also the heart and soul of this collection.

Nina’s favorite subject to paint and draw has always been Flounder, and every design you see begins with real-life moments captured through photography. Flounder has happily “modeled” for countless reference photos, allowing Nina to capture her playful personality and signature expressions with incredible accuracy and charm. From the initial sketch to the finished artwork, each design is lovingly hand-drawn and carefully crafted by Nina herself.

Every product in the Flounder Cat collection represents the bond between artist and muse — a blend of Nina’s artistic skill and Flounder’s irresistible charisma. The result is a one-of-a-kind line of artwork and products that are not only beautiful, but also deeply personal. When you bring home a Flounder Cat design, you’re not just getting a piece of art — you’re getting a little piece of FlounderLand.

Flounder's world, sized for smaller people. The same hand-drawn artwork Nina Leipold puts on the adult range, cut down to child sizes.

What is in here

Kids tees, sweatshirts and gifts carrying the Purrmaid designs, including Bravery Tutu, Treble Maker and Christmas Tree Hugger.

Her books

Flounder has two books, one of which she wrote herself using her communication buttons. The Mermaid of Hilton Head series and the wider children's book range are written and illustrated by Nina on the island.

Matching grown-up sizes

Most of these designs run in Flounder apparel for adults, and the rest of the children's range is in youth apparel.
