About this product
The look and the feel
- The body is soft, slightly nubbly white felt, with the dense, cosy texture that wool takes on when it is felted.
- Her black cap of a head and three bold black spots on her tummy give her a playful, hand-drawn look.
- Tiny pink paw pads sit on each raised paw, and her wide pale eyes give her a curious, slightly surprised expression.
- The strap is a long string of round felted beads in charcoal, grey, tan, brown and cream, so the colours echo her markings without matching them exactly.
- She is flat and cut in the shape of the cat, so the outline is the design: head, arms and little feet all show.
Origin
Stacy comes from Nepal, where felted wool pieces are a well-loved craft. The felted finish is what gives her that gentle, slightly irregular surface. Because the shaping is done in felt rather than cut from printed fabric, small differences in markings and proportions are part of her charm, so your cat may look a little different from the one pictured.
Wearing and caring for her
Wear the bead strap over one shoulder or across the body so she rests in front of you, paws up. She suits light, small essentials rather than anything bulky. As with most felted wool, it is kinder to keep her away from damp and friction. Brush off dust with a soft, dry brush or cloth, and let her dry naturally if she gets caught in the rain.
Size and details
Stacy is a flat, cat-shaped felted bag with a beaded felt strap, in black and white with pink paw detailing. She measures 33 × 21.5 cm.
A gift with personality
She makes a cheerful present for a cat lover, a child who likes small characters, or anyone who would rather carry something with a face. She comes ready to give, with a simple paper tag on her paw, and needs very little in the way of wrapping to feel like a treat.
