Jellycat Bashful Bee

Jellycat Bashful Bee is a yellow bee from Jellycat, and it stands 31 cm tall.

A closer look

The fur is the soft, slightly weighted kind that has made Jellycat’s animals hard to put down. The colourway is yellow and black, and the face is stitched rather than printed, so it keeps its expression through washing and through years of being carried about.

How big it is

At 31 cm, Bashful Bee is easy to size up against an outfit. Measure your own plush from the base to the top of the head and compare the two numbers directly. The size guide carries the full table, and every garment we make names the height it is cut for.

The collection it belongs to

Bashful Bee sits within the Bashful range. We keep a range together on the shelf and on the site, because the pieces were designed to be seen that way, and because the sizes within a range often overlap enough that a single outfit fits more than one of them. The size guide sets out the centimetre bands, and every garment we make is listed against one of them.

Made from, and looking after it

Polyester fabric with polyester filling. Hand wash only. Do not tumble dry. Washing by hand keeps the nap on the fabric, which is the part a machine cycle flattens first, and it is the difference between a plush that still looks new after two years and one that does not.

Who it is for

Filed under everyday companion, and chosen here for a birthday and no particular reason at all more than anything else. It reads as considered rather than expensive, which is usually the harder thing to get right in a gift.

Where this sits in our shop

Our outfits are cut, sewn and finished by us, not bought in, and the plush we stock are chosen because our pieces fit them. Bashful Bee is one of those. If you are buying both at once, the centimetre band on this page is the number the garment listings are matched against.
