Every nursery deserves a mascot, and Dara is a wonderful one. The Jellycat Dara Giraffe stands tall and proud at 56cm, with a long elegant neck and the softest mottled banoffee fur — that gorgeous caramel-and-cream blend that looks every bit as lovely on a shelf as it does in a cuddle.
The details are what make her. Cocoa-coloured suedette horns, a silky mane running down her neck, a little tufty tail, and gently weighted hooves that let her stand steady beside a cot, a bookcase or a bedroom door. She has the calm, friendly expression Jellycat do so well — the sort that makes a big toy feel welcoming rather than imposing. Designed in London by Jellycat, with a hard eye and a soft polyester coat.
At this size she makes a real statement as a gift: a new arrival, a first birthday, a christening, or a nursery that needs its centrepiece. Come and meet Dara at Wrapped! in Canterbury — she’s hard to walk past, and we’d love to introduce you properly.
