The moss we used to gather in the woods. The little figures we carefully took out of the box, one by one. The performance of Els Pastorets at the local theatre, the laughter with Lluquet and Rovelló, and that Christmas carol we still remember from childhood. Christmas is made of simple moments that, over the years, become shared memories.
This 25 cm Catalan Shepherd plush gives shape to that bond with Christmas and Catalan traditions. With a sweet expression and an outfit full of details, he brings home a familiar, warm and beloved character. A small presence that invites us to remember how we used to celebrate Christmas and how we want to keep celebrating it.
The details that make him unmistakable
The red barretina crowns his smiling face, while the waistcoat fastens over his white shirt. The sash around his waist, his trousers and his ribbon-laced espadrilles complete a figure we recognise at first glance.
He holds a shepherd's crook and carries a satchel, the accessories that accompany him as he watches over his flock. His embroidered features add expression to the whole without losing the simplicity of a lovable plush toy.
Every detail helps evoke the little shepherd from tales, carols and nativity scenes. The one we placed on top of the cork mountain, the one we discovered on the Pastorets stage and the one we still associate, even today, with the arrival of Christmas.
A velvety touch to keep him close
Made of polyester, this Shepherd has a lovely velvety-soft fabric. Softness is part of his charm: he is a figure you want to hold, keep nearby and give to someone you share these memories with.
At 25 cm tall, he fits nicely on a shelf, a side table or a corner dedicated to Christmas. He can also become part of the nativity scene or a display with moss, cork and other festive elements, taking centre stage.
A gift with memories and roots
Some gifts are loved for their looks, and others move us because of what they represent. This Shepherd brings both together: a tender figure and a tradition that many of us have lived since childhood.
He is a lovely gift for anyone who looks forward to Christmas, for those who treasure special memories of building the nativity scene as a family, or for anyone who wants to share a piece of Catalan culture with someone who lives far away.
Giving him can also be a way to tell a story: how we set up the nativity scene, which Pastorets play we went to see or which carol we used to sing. Because traditions stay alive when we find new ways to share them.
A corner to celebrate Christmas
Next to a storybook or in a corner of your home, the Shepherd helps create that festive atmosphere that brings us together. You don't need elaborate decorations: sometimes a familiar figure is all it takes to remind us that a special celebration is on its way.
And when the holidays are over, he can stay close as a keepsake of Christmas, waiting for the moss, the carols and the joy of celebrating together to return next year.
