The classic Pimm’s No. 1 Cup has long been synonymous with the Great British summer. This year, Pimm’s is announcing an exciting new collaboration with tennis-pro-turned-artist, Gabriella Taylor, with a new limited-edition serving set featuring two wine glasses and a beautifully designed carafe that elevates every serve.
Once gracing the grass courts of Wimbledon, Gabi has brought her personal connection to tennis and passion for art to the collaboration. Her hand-painted designs celebrate fun summer moments with Pimm’s, featuring iconic ingredients like strawberries, mint sprigs and cucumber slices, alongside playful motifs such as fruit-filled trophies, tennis rackets and players. This unique collection offers fans a creative way to enjoy Pimm’s at home.
Each illustration has been meticulously hand-painted on canvas, then digitised and printed onto the limited run of carafes and wine glasses, which cost £34.99 for the set and are available now at Thebar.com.
It’s the perfect upgrade to a summer drinks set-up, whether hosting friends, watching tennis in the sun, or just pouring yourself a glass of delicious Pimm’s and lemonade.
As a continuation of the partnership, Gabi is also crafting a bespoke, original artwork which will appear at the ‘Pimm’s on The Hill’ bar at The Championships, Wimbledon this summer. The piece of art will depict this iconic British sporting setting with vibrant visuals highlighting the joy of a sunny tournament day on The Hill.
Zoë Hetherington, Pimm’s Brand Manager, said: “Pimm’s has always brought people together to celebrate summer and sport, and collaborating with Gabi has allowed us to reimagine our most iconic serve, with this must-have glassware encapsulating everything we love about the British summer.”
Gabriella Taylor, artist and former tennis professional, said: “Wimbledon has always been more than a tournament to me. It’s where my love of tennis took root. When Pimm’s asked me to create a painting that represented what Wimbledon is all about, I had to make it of The Hill. An iconic location. It holds the energy of every cheer, every hope, and every heartbreak. In this piece, I’ve tried to capture that electricity, that shared moment of awe we’ve all felt there. This is my love letter to the tournament and to The Hill that watches the game grow.”
