Know before you buy
This collectible is crafted from felt, which gives it a soft, textured appearance that differs from the standard ceramic or porcelain pieces typically found in the North Pole series.
As part of the official North Pole collection, it is designed to scale appropriately with other buildings and accessories in the series. Its whimsical style ensures it blends seamlessly with the established aesthetic of the village.
No, this is a non-illuminated accessory piece. It is designed to be placed as a decorative accent within your display rather than as a standalone building.
Yes, its size and design make it ideal for tabletop village setups, mantels, or holiday shelves. Because it is made of felt, it is lightweight and easy to position among other village elements.
To keep the piece in good condition, gently dust it with a soft, dry brush or a can of compressed air. Avoid using water or liquid cleaners, as they can damage the felt material.
