Miffy: A Children's Icon That Belongs in Every Baby's Wardrobe
Miffy, or Nijntje in Dutch, was created by Dick Bruna in 1955 and has barely changed since: a simple, clean illustration of a white rabbit with two black dot eyes and a cross-shaped mouth, drawn with a sureness and warmth that has resonated with children and adults for seven decades. It is one of the most recognised character designs in the world, and it translates into children's clothing beautifully because the illustration is so clean and so considered that it works at any scale, on any fabric, in any colour palette.
The Blade and Rose Miffy collaboration is one of the most beautiful licensed children's clothing ranges we carry. Here is our guide to the Busy in the Veg Patch collection.
Miffy Busy in the Veg Patch Long Sleeve Top
The centrepiece of the collection is the Miffy Busy in the Veg Patch Long Sleeve Top. A soft organic cotton long-sleeve with Miffy illustrated in a garden setting, surrounded by vegetables and flowers, in a palette of warm pinks, greens and creams. The illustration quality is exactly what you would expect from Blade and Rose: detailed, affectionate and beautifully reproduced on fabric. The top pairs naturally with the matching leggings, but it works just as well with plain leggings or under a dungaree.

Miffy Busy in the Veg Patch Leggings
The coordinating Miffy leggings complete the Veg Patch outfit with the same detailed illustration on a soft, stretchy organic cotton fabric. The leggings have a wide, comfortable waistband and a fit that works well for both babies who are just starting to pull up to stand and confident toddlers who need freedom of movement for whatever they have decided to get into today. Worn with the matching top, they create one of the most charming complete outfits we stock.

Miffy Busy in the Veg Patch Socks
No complete Miffy outfit is complete without the socks, and the Blade and Rose Miffy Veg Patch Socks deliver. Made from soft cotton in the same Veg Patch palette, with Miffy illustrated across the sock in a way that stays visible when worn with the leggings rolled down slightly. They are made to the same quality standard as everything else in the Blade and Rose range, and they coordinate beautifully with the rest of the collection.

Miffy as a Gift
The Miffy Busy in the Veg Patch collection makes an exceptional gift for a new baby or a toddler birthday. The Miffy brand recognition means it lands well with parents across generations (many of whom grew up with Miffy themselves), and the Blade and Rose quality means the pieces will be worn and loved rather than sitting unworn in a drawer. The coordinated collection format also means that a top and leggings together, or the full outfit with socks, can be given as a complete and beautiful gift without any additional styling effort on your part.
About the Blade and Rose Miffy Collaboration
The Blade and Rose Miffy range is a licensed collaboration between Blade and Rose and Mercis, the company that manages the Miffy brand and Dick Bruna's legacy. The illustrations are reproduced faithfully and with obvious care, and the organic cotton quality that Blade and Rose brings to the collaboration means the pieces are as safe and comfortable as they are beautiful. It is a collaboration that does justice to both brands, and the result is some of the most charming children's clothing currently available in Australia.
