🤍 Captain Quackers' Curator Notes 

“Some ducks arrive ready for a swim. Lady Cashmere looks ready for a snowy afternoon and a very important hot chocolate reservation.

Her white earmuffs, winter coat, and matching hand muff turn a familiar yellow duck into a miniature winter fashion statement. Look closely, and the textured trim suggests soft, knitted clothing—even though those details are molded into the object.

Our museum gave her the name affectionately. It describes her cozy elegance, not her material or an original Bath & Body Works product name. Until dated packaging, advertisements, or company records tell us more, her winter wardrobe gives us another distinctive design to document.”

DuckDex Entry #0025

This yellow duck wears molded white earmuffs and a winter coat with textured trim. A matching hand muff rests across her front, completing an outfit that transforms the familiar duck form through sculpted clothing and painted details.

Molded underside lettering identifies Bath & Body Works and China as the country of manufacture. A partially surviving barcode and price sticker provides additional evidence of the object’s retail history, although its complete wording and numbers require closer examination.

“Lady Cashmere” is a museum-assigned name. Her original product name, release date, manufacturer/vendor, and specific seasonal retail context remain under investigation.

🟨 Original Identity: “Lady Cashmere” is not a documented original retail name.

🟨 Release History: The winter clothing suggests a seasonal design, but does not establish a particular holiday, year, or officially named series.

🟨 Material: The exact polymer composition is unconfirmed. The museum name does not indicate the presence of cashmere or textile clothing.

🟨 Design Relationships: Compare other Bath & Body Works ducks with molded clothing, while keeping similarities separate from evidence of shared release dates.

 Why Captain Quackers Loves This Duck

Every duck has a story...

“Lady Cashmere understands the importance of a good accessory. Earmuffs? Certainly. A beautifully trimmed coat? Naturally. A matching muff? She wouldn’t leave the shelf without it.

But my favorite accessory is the little scrap of sticker underneath. It may seem less glamorous than her winter wardrobe, yet it could help us learn how she was sold.

In a museum, even the smallest surviving detail deserves a second look.”
