The Miaszösz toys have been created by Dorka Levente, who grew up in the world of fairy tales owing to her writer mother, and so she gave life to the fairy tale world evolving in herself within the walls of the Miaszösz Workshop. Dorka passionately experiments with combining materials of different patterns and texture. Every character in her product palette can be a playful, characteristic and loveable playmate of even the smallest kids. The designer pays attention to every detail: for example, she sews safety eyes for the little toys that cannot be torn off for sure. Every Miaszösz is a unique, custom designed work of art. And if someone has enough courage, they can also create their own Miaszösz rabbit, led by Dorka, with online help.

We know both the smaller and bigger rabbits made in the workshop of Nyúlgyár, and we can recommend them from the bottom of our heart. And we are simply crazy about the giant ones. Anikó Piry creates the toys manually, by using the sartorial waste of designers and new design textiles. She uses each and every inch of the materials, nothing goes to waste except for some thread. Anikó gives life to the loveable tiny things in a small workshop of a giant factory site in Kőbánya. If you’re fed up with commercial all-the-same plush toys available in stores, choose a unique rabbit from the Nyúlgyár!
