Meet your new favourite little creature of the night, lovingly handmade from beautiful dark grey 100% cotton velvet and black leather, in my studio on the Isle of Wight. Soft, spooky and full of charm, this little black bat wears a linen striped top and a woollen scarf (to keep him warm on those chilly autumnal nights).

This bat will make a perfect gift for any Chiroptera loving child or adult. And because you know exactly where he’s made you can give a gift knowing it’s sustainable and long lasting. We’re talking heirlooms here, not landfill.

Whether you’re looking for a gift for a child or just for yourself (don’t forget about you!), you can give this gift knowing that you’re bringing a little nocturnal magic into the home with a soft, cuddly and charming velvet bat, designed to perch, cuddle and fly right into your heart. This little guy isn’t just for Halloween, he’s ready to hang out with you all year round.

My inspiration for all my creatures comes from my own childhood obsessions with the natural world, The Famous Five and the wild Dungeness coastline. And recent years by the incredible Island I now call home. I make creatures designed to evoke childhood memories for grown up children and create childhood memories for the children of today.
