Is Hector the sheep in the Vivi Trading Co. logo at the top of this page?
Well no, the sheep is called Henrietta, or at least the sheep that grew up with me at my home in Lyttelton New Zealand was called Henrietta (and her boyfriend was Rosco).
Hector, or Hector the Fierce of Kinsale to cite his full name, is our employee of the month. Every month. Every month since the shop opened in 2012. Hector is our very special British Blue cat, who has been part of the domestic scene in our home in Kinsale, 15 years now. He is calm, extraordinarily good looking and a major influence in the aesthetic of everything we do at Vivi Trading Co. Everything we do has to be quality, quirky, extraordinarily good looking and a calming force in our lives - just like Hector.
