Jellycat Heart Dragon Huge

Jellycat Heart Dragon is a red dragon from Jellycat, and it stands 50 cm tall.

What it is like to hold

Pick Heart Dragon up and the weight is the first thing you notice: enough to feel substantial, not enough to be awkward in a child’s arms. The colourway runs red, and the pile is brushed in one direction so it catches the light.

Size and fit

The measurement is 50 cm. Worth knowing to the centimetre rather than roughly, because our outfits are listed by the height they are cut for and a few centimetres is the difference between a dress that closes and one that does not. Measure base to head, and the size guide will tell you the rest.

Part of the Dragons range

Within Jellycat’s catalogue Heart Dragon belongs to Dragons, 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.

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.

Suitability

Filed under fantasy and collectible, and chosen here for Valentine’s Day and a birthday more than anything else. It reads as considered rather than expensive, which is usually the harder thing to get right in a gift.

Why we stock it

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