Hattie Polyester Door Stop - Multicolour

Description

DescriptionThis is Hattie, a hare-shaped door stop with long, upright ears in a soft brown bouclé that contrasts with a floral-printed body. The face and torso are made up in a printed polyester fabric scattered with coral and terracotta blooms on a cream ground, threaded through with fine green foliage. A hand-tied ribbed green bow sits at the neck, and small black eyes, a black nose and fine whisker threads complete the face. It stands 50cm tall, so the ears carry most of that height while the seated body keeps a low, steady footprint.
A door stop is a working object first, and Hattie earns her place holding a door open against a draught or a spring hinge. The seated hare shape suits a hallway, a bedroom or a living room where you want the practical job done without a plain wedge on the floor. She sits happily beside a wardrobe or an armchair, and the floral print reads warmly against wood, painted skirting or a jute rug. At this size she is a floor piece rather than a shelf ornament, and the ears make her easy to spot and easy to move by hand.
The body is filled with sand to give the weight a door stop needs, with a small amount of plastic in the construction, and the outer is polyester, which holds a printed pattern well and keeps its colour. The ears are a textured bouclé that adds contrast against the smooth printed face. The green ribbed bow is tied rather than fixed flat, so it has depth to it. Hattie is one of a pair of animal characters made up in the same floral print, alongside a horned companion, if you would like the two to sit together.

Frequently AskedHow tall is this door stop?
Hattie stands 50cm tall, with most of that height carried by the long upright ears, while the seated body keeps a low footprint on the floor.
What makes it heavy enough to hold a door?
The body is filled with sand, which gives it the steady weight a door stop needs to hold an ordinary internal door open against a draught.
What is the outer fabric made from?
The outer is polyester printed with a coral and green floral pattern. Polyester holds a printed design well and keeps its colour over time.
Are the ears the same fabric as the body?
No, the ears are made in a textured brown bouclé that contrasts with the smooth floral-printed face and body for a bit of extra character.
Where does it work best?
It suits a hallway, bedroom or living room, holding a door open where you would otherwise use a plain wedge, and sits well against wood or a rug.
