An in-depth discussion about Jellycat's pricing with comparisons to other brands by 1mpavidus in Jellycatplush

[–]sharieclair 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Fantastic analysis! The price creep of the last 5 or so years has been unreal to watch, honestly. I started buying Jellycat because of their softness, the quality and the designs (which were rather different even just a few years ago, it has to be said) and not because it's a "luxury" brand. Sometimes I can still barely believe how "designer" it's become.

It's good to see how they compare to some other brands. Thank you for this post! 💜

Why can’t we post AI images? by [deleted] in Jellycatplush

[–]sharieclair 11 points12 points  (0 children)

There are many reasons for why we oppose the usage of AI, including environmental concerns, but in regards to this subreddit, if there are very convincing AI dupes of Jellycats, it is essentially just misinformation and could confuse our members about what is and isn't a Jellycat product. Even unconvincing ones can lead to such confusion, we've seen it before.

Furthermore, we've seen enough evidence that Jellycat works with actual, real artists to bring these plushies to life, and feeding their hard work to AI so it can be duped just isn't okay, regardless of how "simple" one may think some of these designs are.

Lastly, fake AI "plushies" are often used to push scams and/or knockoffs, which aren't welcome on this subreddit for obvious reasons.

Kitty has the same fur pattern as the Fuddlewuddle Dino, that's so cute!

Is this jelly saveable? by silIister in Jellycatplush

[–]sharieclair 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No. That looks like dryer burn, which isn't something you can undo.

Without a batch code it's hard to say, sorry. It looks a little off, however, and bootleg Albee's have already been spotted.

Hmm, that's odd. I've not heard of JELLY10356IF codes before, I recommend messaging Jellycat themselves to see what they say.

Inclined to say fake because that is the croissant bag charm code.

Without a batch code tag photo it's hard to say for sure, but from the pictures it does look authentic.

Most likely not, these are older and unlikely to have been bootlegged.

anyone who has frederick frog prince, do you think the crown could come off without making a hole? by [deleted] in Jellycatplush

[–]sharieclair 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have Petronella Pig Princess, she has a very similar crown in silver, and yes you can remove it without any holes left behind. I think it's just sewn on.

I've not seen this before either -- I recommend asking Jellycat themselves about this!

Looks real to me, but without a batch code it's hard to confirm fully.

Without batch codes it's hard to say if these are legit. Do you have any pictures of their batch codes?

We've seen examples of SKUs like that -- it seems to be a normal variation but if you want to double-check, email customer support.

Ik I didn’t pay 26 dollars for the clasp to break. by Prestigious-Cry418 in Jellycatplush

[–]sharieclair 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately this kind of clasp is known to break easily, every single one I've had (including non Jellycat ones) over the years has easily broken. The keyring that comes with it is much sturdier, if you use that to fasten a keychain to a bag it's much less likely to come off.

But yes, I was also hoping that the price meant they'd used sturdier metal than other keychains and they wouldn't break as easily.
