Jellycat Fabulous Fruit Banana

A yellow amuseable at 17 cm, Jellycat Fabulous Fruit Banana belongs to the part of Jellycat’s range made for holding.

What it is like to hold

This is one of the Amuseables, the range where everyday objects are given a face and a pair of feet. The colourway is yellow, and it holds its shape well enough to sit up on its own rather than slump against whatever is behind it.

Measurements and fit

Fabulous Fruit Banana measures 17 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.

The collection it belongs to

This one comes from the Fabulous Fruit range. Jellycat design in ranges rather than one piece at a time, and it shows: the proportions, the face and the finish carry across, which is why collectors tend to buy two or three from the same family rather than one from each. Our own outfits are cut to centimetre bands for the same reason, so a piece bought a year later still has something in the wardrobe that fits it.

Made from, and looking after it

Polyester fabric with polyester filling. Hand wash only. Do not tumble dry. Kept out of direct sunlight the colour holds for years. Fading is the one kind of wear that cannot be undone, and a sunny windowsill does it faster than handling ever will.

Who it is for

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.

About A Flying Wish

Our outfits are cut, sewn and finished by us, not bought in, and the plush we stock are chosen because our pieces fit them. Fabulous Fruit Banana 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.
