{"product_id":"natural-felt-zipper-pouches-curious-cat-group","title":"Natural Felt Zipper Pouches - Curious Cat Group","description":"\u003cp\u003eSix wide-eyed cats peer out from the front of this felt pouch, shoulder to shoulder in red, mustard, green, two blues and teal, each with a pink nose and a few stitched whiskers. It is the kind of small thing that makes you smile each time you open your bag, and the cats are the whole point.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eWhat you'll notice\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe cats stand up from the surface in soft, raised felt, so you can feel their shapes under your fingertips as well as see them.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eRound white eyes with dark pupils give the whole group a curious, slightly startled look, like a row of neighbours watching the street.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eEach pouch has a pastel felt background, and the photo shows pink, sage green and soft peach. The bright cats sit against them like a small flat picture.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eA little felt ball hangs from the zip pull in a colour that picks up the background, a small finishing touch that also gives you something to grip.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eIt arrives as a set of three, so there is one to keep and two to give or to put to different jobs.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003ch3\u003eFelt, with the cats built up by hand-feel\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe pouch is made of felt, a dense and slightly fuzzy textile with a cushioned, matte feel that sits quietly in a hand. The cats are applied as raised felt appliqué, meaning shaped pieces of felt are set onto the background rather than printed on it. That is why the colours look saturated and why the surface has such a tactile, toy-like depth. A zip runs along the top edge to close it.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eWays to use it\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA pouch like this is a small act of order. It keeps loose things together and makes them pleasant to find. A few ideas:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003ePens, pencils and a small eraser for a desk or school bag\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eCharging cables and earphones, so they stop tangling at the bottom of a bag\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eLip balm, hair ties and other bits you want within reach\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eStitching supplies, crayons or a travel kit of small treats\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDropped into a handbag or backpack, it separates the small things from the large and makes the contents easier to find.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eCare\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFelt is best treated gently. As a general rule for textiles of this kind, spot clean with a damp cloth and a little mild soap, then leave to dry flat or in the shade, away from direct heat. Please check the item itself for any specific care guidance.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eThe cats and their cousins\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCats have been a favourite subject of folk art and children's illustration for generations, shown as watchful, playful and endlessly curious. This group captures that spirit: six different personalities, one friendly crowd. The colour choices are bold and cheerful rather than realistic, which suits felt, a material that holds saturated colour especially well.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eSize and details\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe pouch is a flat, rectangular shape that fits comfortably in the hand, wide enough to take a pen or a charging cable lying flat. Each of the three in the set has a different pastel background, as shown in the photo. The felt-ball zip pull echoes the background colour. As these are made from felt and applied by hand, small differences in the placement and shape of the cats are part of the charm.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eA gift that gets used\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt suits anyone who likes a little humour in their everyday things: a cat lover, a student, a colleague with a cluttered desk, or a child just beginning to look after their own belongings. A set of three means it can be split across friends or kept together for a collection of cheerful, practical pouches.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eCommon questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDo all three pouches look the same?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThe design is the same: six cats in the same line-up of colours. The background and the felt ball on the zip differ, as the photo shows.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat closes the pouch?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nA zip along the top edge, finished with a small felt-ball pull.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlease note:\u003c\/strong\u003e this design ships in assorted colours, so the exact shade you receive may vary.
