What's in the Box

Enamel pin and chain set (White Rabbit pin with gold-tone link chain, pocket watch pin with butterfly fasteners)

This Alice storybook White Rabbit Enamel Pin turns any Book Week outfit into a storybook moment — the White Rabbit in his blue waistcoat clutching a brass trumpet, linked by a gold swag chain to his famous pocket watch showing the time he's perpetually late for. Enamel detail captures Lewis Carroll's classic herald in miniature.

Hard enamel fill gives the White Rabbit pin a smooth glossy finish in white, light blue, red, and black — waistcoat buttons, trumpet bell, and whiskers all clearly defined. The pocket watch pin sits alongside with printed gold numerals and a black crown winding stem. Gold-tone metal edging frames both pieces. Total span when worn is about 10 cm with the chain draped between. Weighs just 9 grams so it won't drag on lighter fabrics.

Perfect For

Book Week & Literature Days: A natural pick for Alice storybook costume parades, Lewis Carroll character dress-up, or any storybook celebration where your child is going as Alice, the Mad Hatter, or the Cheshire Cat.

Costume Enhancement: Pin to a vest, jacket lapel, or pinafore to add instant Alice storybook authenticity — works for tea party events, themed birthday parties, or school Mad Hatter days.

Everyday Storytelling: After Book Week it lives on denim jackets, backpacks, or scarves as a wearable nod to one of childhood's most-loved tales.

How to Wear It

Pin the White Rabbit to a jacket lapel and let the chain drape naturally to the pocket watch below, or position both on a vest front. Works beautifully on a pinafore dress (Alice costume) or clipped to a bag strap. Keep away from very thin or stretchy fabrics — the metal backing needs a sturdy weave to grip.

Parent FAQs

Q: Is this suitable for younger kids?

A: The pin has sharp metal points and small parts (butterfly clutches). Recommended for school-age kids who won't put pieces in their mouth — not suitable for under 3s due to choking hazard.

Q: Will the chain tangle or break easily?

A: The gold-tone link chain is fine gauge but reasonably sturdy for normal wear. If your child is rough with accessories, you might want to supervise — it's decorative chain rather than heavy-duty.

Q: Can they wear this on a school uniform?

A: Yes, if the school allows brooches. The butterfly clutch backs hold securely on blazer lapels, cardigans, or pinafores. Remove before sport or rough play to avoid snagging.

Q: Does this work as a Mad Hatter tea party favour?

A: Absolutely — it's a lovely take-home gift for Alice storybook themed parties. Each guest gets a wearable piece of the story.

Care: Wipe gently with a soft dry cloth. Store flat to prevent chain tangling.
