Description
This velvet bow Christmas tree decoration clips straight onto a branch, bringing a soft, quiet touch of grey to the tree. The bow is made from velvet in a pale grey with a gentle sheen that catches the light as it moves. Its two rounded loops sit above a pair of long tails, gathered at the centre with a neat velvet band. Turn it over and the reverse of the tails is a soft matt cream, so the bow still looks finished wherever a branch tips it. It measures 14cm by 16cm, a generous size that shows clearly from across the room without crowding the branch it sits on.
Because it clips on rather than ties, it is quick to place and easy to move. We like it in a scheme of greys, whites and silvers, where its muted colour sits easily beside glass baubles and pale lights. It suits a classic green tree just as well, softening the branches between brighter pieces. Away from the tree, clip it to a wreath on an inside door, along a garland on the mantelpiece or to the top of a banister for Christmas. It also makes a pretty finishing touch on a wrapped present or a festive hamper.
On the back, a slim clip sits behind the centre band, so the bow grips a branch or a length of garland without wire or string. The loops are plump and hold their rounded shape. Velvet is best kept dry and free of dust. Brush it lightly with a soft dry cloth in the direction of the pile, and store it loosely in a box between seasons so the loops stay full. When you dress the tree, set it near the top for a soft focal point, or let it nestle among the lower branches where the sheen of the velvet picks up the glow of the lights.

Frequently Asked
How big is the velvet bow?
It measures 14cm by 16cm. That is a generous size that shows up well on a full tree, a wreath or a garland without looking crowded.
How does the bow attach to the tree?
A slim clip on the back, behind the centre band, grips a branch, a wreath or a garland, so there is no wire or string to tie.
What colour is the bow?
The front is a pale grey velvet with a soft sheen, and the reverse of the tails is a soft matt cream.
What is the decoration made from?
The bow is made from velvet, which gives it a soft, tactile finish and a gentle sheen that catches the light on the tree.
How should I look after it?
Keep it dry, brush it lightly with a soft dry cloth in the direction of the pile, and store it loosely in a box between seasons.
Can I use it somewhere other than the tree?
Yes, it clips just as easily onto a wreath, a garland on the mantelpiece, a banister or the ribbon on a wrapped Christmas present.
