Sometimes a familiar little bird needs very little introduction. Against soft olive green velvet, the flash of a bright red breast immediately reveals one of Britain's most recognisable and much-loved garden visitors.

The robin is created from an interesting mixture of fabrics rather than embroidery alone. Rich red and dark brown velvet form the breast and back, while a panel of traditional herringbone gives the body a surprisingly convincing feathered texture. Fine embroidered details complete the bird, perched simply on a slender branch with just a scattering of green leaves beneath.

There's less decoration here than on some of our other velvet purses, but that simplicity allows the robin to remain very much the focus. The muted olive green is an especially good backdrop, giving the purse a practical, countryside feel while making that distinctive red breast stand out all the more.

Compact enough to slip easily into a pocket, handbag or smaller evening bag, there's room inside for loose change and a few essential cards. At 12.5 Ă— 9.5cm, it's a useful little purse for anyone who still likes to keep some cash close at hand.

Robins seem to hold a special place in British hearts. For some they're a welcome garden visitor, for others an unmistakable sign of Christmas, while many people also associate the appearance of a robin with remembering someone they have lost. Whatever the connection, this is a small gift with considerably more meaning than its size might suggest — and one that would make a particularly lovely stocking filler at Christmas.
