Description
This capybara twist-up eraser hides a proper rubber inside a slim barrel, topped with a little brown figure clutching an orange to its chest. It stands 9cm tall and 1.9cm across, about the size of a lipstick, so it slips into the smallest pencil case. The barrel and lid are a warm translucent amber, and the lid carries the word Capybara in white lettering above two sleepy capybaras stacked one on top of the other. The upper one wears a banana peel on its head, and a small orange sits tucked at their feet. The eraser itself is a soft caramel shade, held in a white sleeve.
It belongs wherever pencils do: in a pencil case, on a desk beside a notebook, or in a drawer at home for the moments a sketch or a sum needs tidying. The cheerful topper makes it easy to find among pens and pencils, and the slim, rounded shape sits comfortably between finger and thumb for careful corrections. It is just as handy for a sketchbook, a journal or a page of revision notes, and at 9cm it tucks into a bag or pocket without fuss.
The body is plastic and the eraser is synthetic rubber. To use it, simply take off the lid and twist the capybara topper to wind the eraser up, then twist it back down when you have finished, so the rubber stays tucked away. Putting the lid back on keeps crumbs and pencil dust off the eraser in a bag. As general good practice, wipe the lid and barrel with a soft damp cloth if they pick up marks. We think it makes a cheerful little gift slipped inside a card or alongside a fresh notebook, and a bright companion for everyday stationery.
