Felt Handbag Charms - Mixed Selection (Mini Cute)

• The characters are mostly rabbits, with a few bears and mice in the mix, each standing upright with its own small personality.
• Every one wears something different: a purple dress, a blue waistcoat, dungarees with a white button, a red scarf, a green scarf, a dark checked coat.
• Faces are kept simple. Dotted eyes, tiny stitched noses and mouths, and pink-lined ears give each a gentle, slightly sleepy expression.
• The felt is soft and slightly fuzzy to the touch, in creams, whites, browns and greys, with brighter blue, purple, green and orange in the clothes.
• Small details reward a closer look: a carrot held in paws, a single button, a bundle of coloured yarn, a striped candy-cane loop at the top of one.

These are made from felted wool-style fabric in a soft, matt finish, with the clothing built up in layers and finished with embroidered stitching. Each figure has a small loop at the top for attaching to a bag, keys or a zip pull. The look is deliberately handmade and a little imperfect, so expect faces and outfits to differ slightly from piece to piece.

This is an assorted listing, so the character you receive comes from the mixed selection shown rather than being chosen individually. That is part of the pleasure: a small surprise, and each charm is different from the next.

Felt animals like these are made in Nepal, where wool felting has long been a craft in the hills, and the work is usually done in small workshops. The tradition of carrying a small charm, from lockets to talismans, is an old one, and these are its playful, modern descendant: less a symbol than a bit of company on the way to work.

Wool felt is best kept dry. Spot-clean gently with a damp cloth if needed and let it dry naturally. Hang from a bag strap, a set of keys or a zip, and avoid snagging it on rough surfaces so the fine stitching stays tidy.
