Description
This soft velvet bow is a Christmas tree decoration that clips straight onto a branch. It comes in a deep berry shade with a gentle rose-brown warmth. It is tied in the classic way, with two full, rounded loops gathered at a neat centre knot and two long tails that fall away and flare out to angled points. The velvet catches the light as it moves, so the colour shifts from a soft glow on the raised folds to a richer shade in the creases. On the back, a silver-toned clip sits behind the knot, and the tails carry a tan backing that gives them a little body.
It is made for Christmas, and the tree is its natural home. Clip it to a sturdy branch and the tails hang down among the needles, sitting happily beside fairy lights, pine cones and woodland ornaments. Because it clips rather than hangs, it stays where you put it and faces the way you choose. That means it can fill a gap high in the branches or soften a bare spot nearer the base. The clip also lets it move beyond the tree, onto a garland along the mantelpiece, the top of a wreath or the ribbon of a wrapped present. That makes it a warm finishing touch for anyone who likes a cosy, natural Christmas look.
With velvet across the front, care is simple. Dust it gently with a soft dry cloth, or brush the pile lightly in one direction to bring back its sheen. Keep it away from damp. When the decorations come down, store it in a box with a little room around it so the loops keep their full shape for the next Christmas. We like it best where the glow of the tree catches the velvet, so the berry shade warms through the evening.

Frequently Asked
How does the velvet bow attach to the tree?
A silver-toned clip on the back, behind the centre knot, grips a branch. The bow stays where you put it and faces the way you choose.
What colour is the bow?
The front is a deep berry with a dusky rose-brown warmth that glows where the velvet catches the light. The back of the tails has a tan backing.
What is the bow made from?
The bow is velvet, with a soft pile across the loops, the knot and the front of the tails that shifts in tone as the light moves over it.
Can I use the bow somewhere other than the Christmas tree?
Yes. The clip suits a garland along the mantelpiece, the top of a wreath or the ribbon of a wrapped present, as well as a branch of the tree.
How should I look after the velvet bow?
Dust it gently with a soft dry cloth or brush the pile lightly in one direction. Store it in a roomy box so the loops keep their full shape.
