About the food and plant plush
Animals in fruit
The strawberry cat, the banana cow and the pear duck all work the same way: a small animal zipped into a soft fruit shell. The shell comes off in photographs and stays on in practice, because the two-piece look is the point.
Bread and vegetables
The croissant capybara is a 27.5" capybara lying on a toast-coloured pastry. The pea pod opens on three peas. The chicken banana is exactly what the name says. These are the plush toys we make when somebody on the team will not let an idea go.
Why food plush works
A food plush is funny on a shelf and soft in a bed, and it does not read as a children's toy to an adult who wants one. That combination is most of why this part of the collection keeps growing.
Same fill as everything else
High-quality PP cotton, short-pile shell, inside seams. The fruit shells use a slightly stiffer interlining so they hold an open shape instead of collapsing around the animal.
How to pick one
- These are gifts more often than anything else we make — pick the one that fits the joke.
- Palm-sized for a desk, the bigger croissant for a bed.
Sizes on this shelf
We measure end to end along the longest line, lying flat and unstretched, so a figure here is the whole plush and not how tall it stands when it sits. This shelf runs 8", 12", 14", 16", 27.5". If two sizes are close in price and the plush is going to be slept with, take the larger one.
What it is made of
Short brushed pile over a tight knit backing, filled with high-quality PP cotton blown in at an even density from nose to tail. Seams are turned to the inside, eyes and details are embroidered or sewn rather than glued, and every finished plush gets squeezed once before it is boxed.
Looking after it
Spot clean with a damp cloth and mild soap for everyday marks. Hand wash cool when it needs more, press the water out between towels instead of wringing, and dry flat for a day or two. Never a tumble dryer — heat is the one thing that permanently flattens plush fur. Brush with a soft brush once dry and the fluff comes back.
Questions about food and plant plush
Are these food plushies or animal plushies?
Both, mostly. The croissant has a cat in it, the banana has a chicken in it and the pea pod has faces on the peas. Pure-food plush is the minority here.
Which one works as a desk plush?
The croissant cat and the persimmon. Palm-sized, slightly absurd, and they survive being used as a wrist rest.
