"There is nothing- absolutely nothing-
half so much worth doing
as simply messing about in boats."

That's what Ratty said to Mole in Kenneth Grahame's beloved classic, The Wind in the Willows. "In or out of 'em, it doesn't matter. Nothing seems really to matter, that's the charm of it."...Ratty continued.
Whether you celebrate Ratty's notion by sailing, motoring, rowing, paddling, boat building, or... whatever... "it doesn't matter"... "that's the charm of it". The Design Works has celebrated Ratty's notion since 1980 with our Simply Messing About In Boats nautical apparel and tote bags. Our designs are loved worldwide, by young and old, from boat bums to royalty.
Join us in expressing Ratty's sentiment to the world!
