Given the opprobrium being heaped on urban foxes in the tabloids, wearing this beguilingly anthropomorphic item could be construed as an act of solidarity. 

Kealwork's Fox Hat is one of the thousands of handmade items being shown at this year's Origin, the Crafts Council's annual showcase of contemporary craft, presented by Tent London. Origin is an event which showcases 220 individual makers whose work has been selected by a panel of judges. Though it's now five years old, this is the first time it's been included in the London Design Festival. It's taking place this year in the newly refurbished Old Spitalfields Market and it's the first time the entire market has been given over to an individual event. 

Origin runs form 23 - 29 September 2010.
