Jellycat Bashful Turtle

Jellycat Bashful Turtle comes in two sizes, 18 cm and 31 cm, a green turtle soft the whole way through.

A closer look

What distinguishes Bashful Turtle is the texture. It is the same everywhere you touch it, with no hard seams and no stiff patches, and the colourway of green is matched across the ears and paws rather than left to chance at the cutting stage.

Measurements and fit

Bashful Turtle stands 18 cm and 31 cm depending on the size chosen. We give the exact figure on every plush for one reason: it is the only number that tells you whether something will fit it. Our garment listings carry the same kind of figure, so the two can be read directly against each other without converting anything.

The collection it belongs to

Within Jellycat’s catalogue Bashful Turtle belongs to Bashful, and that is the useful thing to know when you are choosing a second one. A range shares its finish and its proportions, so pieces from the same family photograph well together and, more practically, often share a centimetre band, which means they can share a wardrobe.

Fabric and washing

Polyester fabric with polyester filling. Hand wash only. Do not tumble dry. That is the whole of it. It is worth following, because heat is what turns a soft plush into a stiff one, and no amount of brushing afterwards brings the pile back.

Choosing it as a gift

It is as fitting for a birthday as for no particular occasion at all. It is also one of the safer choices when you do not know the room it is going into, because it does not insist on a colour scheme.

Where this sits in our shop

A Flying Wish began with outfits and grew into the plush that wear them. Bashful Turtle is stocked here because it fits that idea, and because the pieces we design are made to last as long as the companion they are made for.
