Cheetah Embroidered Wool Ornament - Willa Heart Collection

Our Cheetah ornament features Willa Heart's alpha females in all their spotted glory. Based on Alyssa Harris's Cheetah Girls artwork, this limited-edition ornament features two exquisitely embroidered big cats holding court on vibrant red merino wool. The embroidery on these cats is extraordinary; each individual spot is meticulously stitched to capture the pattern and dimension of their markings.They've got ruby-red collars, upholstered cushions, and an emerald gaze that says they know they're the cat's meow. Whether you see them as cheetahs, leopards, or just wildcats who are a little bit extra, they bring instant feline energy wherever you hang them.

Here's what makes this piece extra special: the cheetahs embroidered on each side are different. Aly draws and paints each animal separately, so we embroider them that way too (the easiest difference to spot - look at their tails). Its a tiny detail most will never notice, but it's what makes this ornament art instead of just another cute trinket on the tree. And we've finished with a flourish of black tassels and a braided hanging loop bearing a tiny gold tag with the Little Goodall & Willa Heart logo.

This heirloom ornament makes a statement on a Christmas tree or wreath, but these girls (a little Joan Rivers, a little Joan Crawford) purr year-round. Display them on a doorknob, bar cart, or anywhere you need a dose of confident feline companionship.

Our exclusive embroidery technique gives the cheetahs dimensional texture and visual interest - you can't help but reach out and touch the textured embroidery and the soft merino wool. And since they're filled with soft batting, this is one ornament you won't have to stress about not making it from one year to the next.

Each ornament is crafted exclusively for us in India from merino wool fabric we import from the Netherlands. We'll be adding new designs to this collectible series each year, making early pieces particularly special. If these girls speak to you, don't hesitate! But please note, as limited-edition collectibles, ornaments are not eligible for return or exchange.

Created in collaboration with Alyssa Harris of Willa Heart, whose original art features personality-filled animals with saturated colors and graphic patterns in a perfect cocktail of Southern charm, Palm Beach chic, and East Coast prep.
