Grey baby rabbit keychain with tutu

Grey plush bunny keychain in a star-flecked tulle tutu

The ears come first: long, lined a shade lighter than the rest, they drop either side of the face and hang as far as the feet. Behind them the plush is an even mouse grey, broken only by two round black eyes, a glossy pink oval of a muzzle and a small silver-toned flower pinned to one side of the head. The model is given as 14 cm, with the tulle tutu flecked with holographic stars accounting for most of its width.

Clipping it to a bag, a key ring or a school satchel

On a bag the tutu stays visible against leather or canvas, which is where a charm like this earns its place; a school satchel, a gym holdall or a zip pull works just as well. The gold-tone lobster clasp is the usual sprung type, wide enough to take a key ring as readily as a strap. To compare shapes and materials, the rest of the charms you can hang from a bag sit in the same section.

The pearl bow, the ruff and the glitter-dipped feet

At the neck, a gathered band of tulle forms a small ruff, and a satin ribbon runs through it to tie at the front into a bow set with pearls and rhinestones. The skirt is several layers deep, so it keeps its volume from behind as well, where the ribbon ends trail loose. Both feet are coated in champagne glitter and show below the hem.

A soft brush and a barely damp cloth

A soft brush run in the direction of the pile lifts the plush once it has flattened inside a bag. The glitter on the feet holds dust, which comes away with a barely damp cloth, dried straight after so that none of the glitter travels with it. The skirt is the part that suffers from being crushed, so give it room rather than wedging it into a pocket, and shake the layers out when the bunny comes off its strap. The same care suits the fabric pieces in our everyday accessories range.
