Perta Snow Boot is built for the best day of winter. A tall cream fleecy shaft above a ribbed cuff, a taupe toe with a chunky sole under it, laces crossing the instep, two bright eyes and a smile, and a small cat face embroidered on the heel the way a real boot carries its maker's mark.

She sits eight inches tall with a fabric pull loop at the top of her cuff, the way a real winter boot carries one. Give her to the child who runs straight for the deepest drift, or to the adult who still would.

Perta is happiest in a set. Add Amuseables Pomilly, the bobble hat Jellycat casts as her friend, or bring home Amuseables Fitswell Mitten, the other half of her story, and finish the kit before the first snow falls.
