Fat Cat clobber hails from O'Connor April 2, 2008
The team at the company’s South Street warehouse all have fashion backgrounds and possess sewing and dressmaking skills, says founder and costume designer Elisha Williams. “My proudest mascot we’ve made would have to be Fat Cat because everyone knows him and he’s huge,” says Ms Williams. From what started as a small home business, Character Creations now makes mascots for clients as diverse as Chicken Nick (Chicken Treat), the Masters cow, Rexona, Farmer Frank (City Farmers), Vegie Man (Department of Health WA) and sporting mascots for the Eagles and Dockers. Within two years of Ms Williams completing a fashion course at Swan Tafe, her business grew rapidly and she had to employ people and rent more space. She set up a store first in Balcatta, and then opened the O’Connor outlet last July. Kira Goody, an assistant at the O’Connor store, said the most interesting costume she’d seen made onsite was of a giant burger as he had his ‘little hands and legs sticking out’.
