Jellycat Bewitching Bat

Jellycat Bewitching Bat stands 24 cm tall, a black bat with the quiet heft Jellycat is known for.

What it is like to hold

Bewitching Bat has the quality that is hard to photograph and obvious in the hand, which is evenness. No thin patches, no hard filling anywhere, and a colourway of black carried right through to the underside rather than stopping where it stops being visible.

Measurements and fit

Bewitching Bat measures 24 cm. Heights are taken from the base to the top of the head rather than the tip of an ear, which is the figure the size guide lists, so a shelf or a cot space can be judged before it arrives.

Where it sits in the Jellycat range

Within Jellycat’s catalogue Bewitching Bat belongs to Bewitching, 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.

Materials and care

Polyester fabric with polyester filling. Hand wash only. Do not tumble dry. Spot cleaning handles most of what happens day to day, and a full wash is rarely needed more than once or twice a year unless it has been somewhere muddy.

Suitability

As a gift it works for Halloween and a birthday, and it belongs to the everyday companion side of what we stock. If you are buying for someone who already has one or two, the range it comes from is worth a look for something that will sit beside them.

Why we stock it

A Flying Wish stocks Jellycat plush alongside the outfits we design and make ourselves. Every piece is designed with purpose, made to fit many beloved plush companions, and the two halves of the shop are meant to be used together. Bewitching Bat is one of the plush our outfits are cut to fit, and the size guide sets out which pieces work with which band.
