White bunny keychain with white tutu and star

A bunny keyring with stars scattered through the tulle

Hold it up to a window and the skirt does the work. Dozens of small cut-out stars sit between the layers of ivory tulle. Turn the skirt and they go from pearl-white to pink, with the odd flash of pale blue. The shape underneath is plain enough: a round head, a narrow body, and a skirt that takes up most of the 14 cm. Everything else about this bunny is quiet by comparison.

Ears lined in champagne fur

Turn it round and the back says more than the front. The outer side of each ear matches the ivory plush of the body. The inside does not: it is a longer, warmer fur in a champagne tone, nearer the colour of the shoes than of the coat. Behind, the skirt gathers with no fastening on show, so the back looks as finished as the front.

The bow, the pearl strand and the glitter shoes

At the throat, a gathered tulle collar holds a bow paved with pearls and iridescent rhinestones. From under it, a strand of white pearls in uneven sizes drops across the skirt, as though it had slipped off the neck. The feet are the other thing to notice: both are sheathed in fine glitter that holds the light even indoors. A fabric flower hides where one ear joins the head, its centre set with a single iridescent stone. The rest of the tutu-and-lace bunnies sit in the same corner of the range.

On a set of keys, and keeping the tulle full

A ring sits at the top of the head and the clasp passes through it, which is why the bunny hangs upright rather than nose-down. Keys aside, it sits just as well on a lanyard or a pencil case zip. Dark canvas shows it off best; against a pale bag it more or less disappears.

Dust settles in the tulle long before it shows on the plush. Most of it comes away if you hold the bunny upside down and give the skirt a shake, and a soft brush takes care of the rest. What really flattens the layers is storing it squashed at the bottom of a bag. Anyone after something flatter for a coat pocket should look at the shelf where the metal charms sit too.
