MIFFY, THE LITTLE DUTCH RABBIT

Back to Blog99 Home

 
Meet our newest friend Miffy! You might have already seen her in our stores.  Miffy is here to stay and can now be a  part of your everyday shopping list and special occasions too! You may be wondering who Miffy is and how she arrived at 99¢ Only Stores.

Miffy is a small female rabbit in a series of picture books drawn and written by Dutch artist Dick Bruna.
 
Miffy was created in 1955 after Bruna had been telling his one-year-old son Sierk stories about a little rabbit they had seen earlier in the dunes, while on holiday at Egmond aan Zee. Miffy became a female after Bruna decided that he wanted to draw a dress and not trousers on his rabbit. Depending on the story, Miffy can be a baby or four years old.
 
Since then, almost 30 books have followed. In total they have sold over 85 million copies, and inspired a television series as well as items such as clothes and toys featuring the character.
You can now find Miffy merchandise exclusively sold at 99¢ Only Stores. Whether you’re arranging a party for your children or preparing school lunches, you will find all things Miffy in a section especially devoted to her in our stores.
Stay tuned, we will have more information about Miffy coming soon!
