1978 Gilbert - Small

Parade back nearly 50 years with me, I'm Gilbert, the unicorn plush from 1970s San Francisco. With my rainbow mane and spark of pride, was I part of the magic that made rainbows last forever?

Call me Gilbert the Unicorn! I’m named after Gilbert Baker, the visionary who designed the very first pride flag with eight glorious colours flying high above Market Street.

I'm born from the magic of that moment, when courage, craft and community came together in technicolour. With my sparkly embroidered eyes, retro sparkle, and timeless spirit, I carry a little of that rainbow magic wherever I go. I shine for love, joy and being exactly who we are, for decades and decades to come.
