Our classic handmade rabbit redesigned for Spring 2025. This edition is made with our classic cotton sherpa fabric hand dyed with black tea, resulting in the warmest, softest brown. This is the third edition of Aster and the first in earthy colors with a bright orange linen collar. Aster Cottontail is the coziest heirloom bunny to befriend small hands. A unique yet timeless children's toy made of all natural materials is hard to come by. Aster is a contemporary, playful take on a classic toy rabbit and is inspired by the New England Cottontail Rabbits we see outside our studio windows.

Origin

Made start to finish in our studio in Western, Massachusetts, USA

Packaging

We believe that high quality toys deserve thoughtful packaging. Each toy comes is carefully tucked into it's own hand-stamped kraft gift box (made of recycled materials and tied up with string). Like our toys, the packaging is plastic free.

Care

Our Care & Repair page has a guide for cleaning and repairing your toys which we encourage you to follow. The short answer is: these are natural materials and should be gently hand washed in lukewarm water.

Inner materials

Wool Filling

These are stuffed with 100% wool, ethically sourced from US farms. Wool is a traditional teddy bear stuffing material. It is uniquely lightweight and bouncy. It fills out these toys without making them too firm. Wool has been found to be naturally antibacterial and long lasting. To keep wool in good shape it should be washed by hand. You can find out more in our care & repair section.

Materials

Hand Dyed Cotton Teddy Fabric:

This is a 100% organic cotton knit fabric. It comes to us undyed in a natural off-white cotton color and we hand dyed it with natural dye processes using tea for a warm light brown color. This is the plushest, all cotton fabric we have found and is quite special as the majority of teddy bear and fleece fabrics are polyester. We typically like to use it in its natural color but occasionally dye it with plant pigments in our studio. Sourced from a small business based in Pennsylvania, USA and manufactured in China.
