Heirloom Bunny | A Gentle Companion, Made to Grow Old With You
Description
Soft, quiet, and full of tenderness.
The Heirloom Bunny is a calm, timeless companion hand-crocheted slowly in an alpaca-wool blend chosen for its subtle fuzz and nostalgic texture. Intended as a lifelong friend, this bunny is made to be loved, held, displayed, and eventually passed down.
With long relaxed limbs, softly weighted feet, and two gently upright ears, slightly asymmetrical for an organic, lived-in feel, the Heirloom Bunny feels natural and unforced, like a toy discovered rather than designed.
The face is intentionally minimal, embroidered by hand in black cotton thread. There are no plastic elements, no safety eyes, and no small parts, only thoughtful craftsmanship and quiet simplicity.
Each bunny is made to order, allowing every piece to carry its own subtle personality and heirloom presence.
Signature colourway
Soft Cream Body with matching ears
A pale yet warm, timeless shade that allows light, texture, and memory to do the talking.
Custom colours are available upon request. If selected, I will contact you after purchase so we can choose the yarn together. Limited seasonal or special colourways may be released separately.

Design
I only create designs I truly love: pieces I’ve made for myself, worn, and lived with. Some are my own, and others come are patterns from designers I admire; when that’s the case, their name is noted at the end of the product description.
Everything is handmade by myself.
