Jellycat Bunny: Why Is This Iconic Rabbit So Special?

Here’s why we’re obsessed with Jellycat bunnies and why you should be too

Hands up if you’re a fan cough obsessed cough with the Jellycat bunny? Us too! Of course it’s our job to personalise and sell these adorable furry friends, but if we’re honest, we’d be collecting them all too! Recently we’ve seen a wave of people showing how many Jellycats they have in their collection, and which ones they love the most, so we’re asking the question; why are these bunnies so crazy popular? And what makes them so good!

Jellycat the company – who are they and what are they all about?

Jellycat is a worldwide lifestyle company, established 1999 and has now become one of the world’s leading global luxury soft toy companies. They first created their unique and newfound soft toys in London, and not long after this in 2001, they expanded to set up in Minneapolis. They have now started to supply department stores all over the world, including the UK, USA, Canada, Europe, Asia and Australia.

So, why Jellycat? The company has explained that in 1999 when the brand was established the name was actually invented by a child, who loved cats and jellies and would dream and laugh of the thought of combining the two! Because of the creative designs, the name Jellycat was so perfect and such a great reflection of their soft toys.

Jellycat launched their first small range in 1999 and announced themselves as a ‘soft toy creator with a difference’, as they found no one else made soft toys like they did in the industry. Using the most luxurious fabrics and trendy designs, they continue to create the most wonderful soft toys and supply stores and other brands, like us, with their amazing products.

What’s so special about Jellycats?

Back in the day, Jellycat started with instantly recognisable, small, unique designs that made them innovators in their field, and since then grown to the iconic soft toy empire they are today; bringing out at least 2 catalogues a year of classic and new designs.

Soft and huggable

Perfect for newborns, Jellycat toys are made always with the highest quality in mind; the softest materials used. What makes them so squishy and huggable is the plastic pellets they are made up of, this is what makes them sit in the cutest, floppiest ways! Soft toys can gives babies reassurance and comfort; they help them to self-soothe. Whenever a child is in a stressful situation, a Jellycat is perfect to provide some familiarity and make them feel like they are with a loved one.

Perfect for all ages

Jellycats toys are all rigorously tested against strict European and American standards, making them suitable for all babies and children. You can feel 100% comfortable and assured giving your child a Jellycat toy.

The Jellycat Bunny

If we’re talking about popularity, the Jellycat Bashful Bunny is by far the most collectable; with people desperate to get their hands on the latest colour. Jellycat say it best – ‘The most famous of Jellycat soft toys, Bashful Bunnies are a family favourite and make the perfect gift for newborns, children, and those that are childish at heart. With stylish colours and a range of sizes to choose from, these Bashful Bunnies are very likely to steal your heart.’

The bunnies have become an iconic soft toy over the years. This is purely because of how these cute little bunnies make us feel. They are so special because so many people have found joy and comfort through Jellycat bunnies. They can also be physically comforting, soft and pliable, for being hugged and feel gentle on our skin.

Jellycat launches new designs every year, meaning some bunnies will become discontinued or retired. This makes them hugely collectable and some may already be difficult to get your hands on. Jellycat bunnies are machine washable, and will still be soft and in better condition than most other comfort toys after years.
