Free-Standing Plush Animals are Dressed as the Quirky People You Pass on the Street

Stuffed animals by Cat Rabbit

I want to live in a world made by Cat Rab­bit. For many years, the Mel­bourne-based tex­tile artist has cre­at­ed a cast dap­per ani­mals who don all the trap­pings of humans. Her most recent pieces fea­ture koalas, sheep, and frogs that are dressed to the nines in col­or­ful jump­suits and news­boy caps as they car­ry bags of gro­ceries and fan­ny packs around their waists.

If this sounds cute, it is—Cat Rab­bit’s work down­right adorable—and a mar­vel of craft. The plush fig­ures fea­ture incred­i­ble details and are engi­neered to stand on their own. It’s no won­der that her orig­i­nal works sell out so quick­ly! Make sure you fol­low her on Insta­gram to see when her next series is going to drop.

In addi­tion to her soft sculp­tures, you can get made-to-order brooches, enam­el pins, prints, and more in her online shop.
