Sitting Rabbit. Approx 6in High (Including Ears ) / 7in Long.

This adorable little powder-blue Bunny rabbit is part of Merrythought's 2025 Heritage Collection- a selection of historic Merrythought characters, each beautifully recreated to celebrate Merrythoughts 95th Anniversary.

Each soft toy in the Heritage Collection carries a unique story. This delightful little "sitting rabbit" first appeared in Merrythought's inagural 1931 catalogue alongside an assortment of animals, including the famed Greyfriars Bobby, who is also returning as part of Merrythoughts Heritage Collection. 

Created by the company's original designer, Florence Atwood, this feather light rabbit was particularly favoured for it's petitie size,sitting perfectly within the palm of  hand. 

Carefully crafted from the finest powder blue mohair plush and peach wool felt, with hand stitched detailing under the muzzle.

As with all of Merrythought's Heritage collection characters, ming Panda features an authentic replica of Merrythought's "hygienic toys" label, and has been individually numbered as a Special Edition.

Note: this product is not a toy and is intended for adult collectors only.
