Description
This red velvet bow is a Christmas tree decoration with real presence, its soft pile dotted with small crystals that catch the light as the tree twinkles. Two full, rounded loops sit above two long tails, gathered at the centre by a neat velvet knot, so it keeps a plump, generous shape rather than lying flat. The colour is a deep, rich red, the classic festive shade that sits happily beside gold, green and white. Across the front it measures 31.1cm one way and 27.5cm the other, and it is 5.8cm deep, a large bow that reads clearly from across the room.
A slim gold-coloured cord loop at the top makes it simple to hang. On the tree, it works well near the top or in a gap among the branches where a bolder piece is wanted. The same loop lets it hang from a door handle, a mantelpiece hook, a staircase newel post or the centre of a wreath, so it can bring a touch of Christmas to a hallway, a living room or a dining room as easily as to the tree itself. It is a cheerful way to give a plain garland or a bare stretch of banister a focal point.
The bow is made of velvet, with the crystals spread across the front of the loops and tails. Velvet is happiest kept dry, so we suggest it stays indoors and away from damp. To care for it, lift away dust gently with a soft dry cloth, working with the direction of the pile, and at the end of the season store it in a box with a little room around it so the loops keep their fullness. Let it be the boldest thing on its branch: pair it with plain gold or clear glass baubles and warm white lights, and let the red velvet and the sparkle do the rest.
