Miffy Pink Eco Corduroy 33cm

Same Miffy, different mood. This is the pink corduroy — a faded, dusty rose rather than anything sharp or sugary, which is what stops it feeling babyish in the way that brighter pinks can.

Dick Bruna's rabbit has been around since 1955 and the face hasn't changed: calm, direct, a little serious. Children find that reassuring. Adults buying as a gift tend to appreciate that it doesn't look cheap on a shelf.

The wide-wale corduroy is soft and nicely tactile — the kind of texture that's immediately appealing to small hands — and this larger size has a good, solid presence without being unwieldy. She holds her shape well, which matters when a toy is going to spend time being carried, dropped and slept on in equal measure.

Made from recycled materials. A considered gift for a new baby or first birthday, and one of those things people tend to buy on instinct when they know the recipient well. Arrives ready to give.
