MR PICKLES Rupert – soft rabbit toy with backpack, 50 cm

A quiet, thoughtful companion for everyday adventures and emotional growth.
Meet Rupert, a gentle rabbit from the Adventure Pickles collection by MR PICKLES — a UK-based brand known for its meaningful, handcrafted soft toys. Rupert isn’t just a plush toy. He is a comforting presence, a storyteller, and a quiet friend who travels with your child through everyday moments and imaginative journeys.

A calm, timeless design that encourages creative, child-led play

Dressed in earth-toned clothing with natural textures, Rupert has a minimalist aesthetic that blends beautifully into any nursery or child's space — especially those inspired by Montessori or Waldorf values. He does not overstimulate; instead, he gently invites the child into slow, mindful play.

Every Adventure Pickles animal comes with a small functional backpack — the perfect place to store little treasures, secret notes, or keepsakes found along the way. This feature encourages storytelling, curiosity, and independence in play.
