Beige bunny keychain with pink tutu

A plush bunny keyring with a pearl collar and tutu

The outfit is what you notice first: a pink tulle skirt under white lace, and just above it a close-fitting row of white pearls. The plush is beige and short-piled, denser around the cheeks than along the ears, which hang well below the body. Both feet are finished in champagne glitter, so the figure catches the light from below rather than from the front.

The gold-tone clasp and what it will take

She fastens with a gold-tone lobster clasp on a ring. The gate opens under thumb pressure and springs back on its own, which is how the bunny moves from a handbag handle to a rucksack loop in a second. The weight on a key ring is negligible, and the pale fur shows up well against a dark lining, which is the practical half of the appeal.

The detail the standing view hides

The third photograph is taken close, and it is the only one in which the fabric rose with a rhinestone centre is really legible: a beige bloom with two green leaves, set against the right ear. Seated, she loses the hanging line of the first shot and the skirt spreads out around her. The back view keeps none of that, with the ears filling the frame and the lace lying flat across the tulle.

Keeping the pile and the tulle looking new

Short plush flattens wherever it is handled, and the remedy is a soft brush worked gently against the lie of the pile until it stands up again. The skirt needs no brush, only a shake now and then, so that the lace frill sits proud of the tulle instead of settling against the legs.

Where she sits in the range

If the dressing-up idea appeals, the bunnies dressed in tulle and lace carry it through in shabby and ballet versions.

For something plainer, everything else that clips onto a strap brings together the metal charms and the soft characters.
