🐰 10 Things Every Miffy Fan Should Know

⸻

If you’re a fan of that sweet little bunny with the “X” mouth and minimalist charm, you’re not alone. Miffy has captured hearts around the world for nearly 70 years! Whether you’ve been collecting Miffy goodies for years or just recently discovered her quiet magic, here are 10 fun facts you might not know about this beloved character.

1. Miffy’s real name isn’t actually Miffy!

She was originally named Nijntje — a Dutch nickname for “konijntje”, meaning “little bunny”. “Miffy” was created later to make the name easier to pronounce internationally.

2. She was born in 1955!

Dutch artist and author Dick Bruna first drew Miffy in 1955 as a bedtime story for his young son. Since then, she’s appeared in over 30 books and countless designs.

3. Miffy isn’t a boy — she’s a girl!

Some fans are surprised to learn that Miffy is a little girl bunny, even though her design is beautifully simple and neutral. Her personality is described as curious, kind, and a little shy.

4. Her world uses just 6 colors.

Dick Bruna believed in simplicity. Every Miffy illustration uses bold lines and just a handful of colors: red, blue, yellow, green, white, and orange. That’s it — and that’s the magic!

Yes, a whole museum! Located in Utrecht (Bruna’s hometown), it’s an interactive space for children and Miffy lovers to explore her world.

A special Miffy-themed airplane once flew with KLM, decorated both inside and out. Flying just got a whole lot cuter!

Before Miffy, Bruna was already known for designing iconic book covers — often using the same minimalist style. His design legacy goes far beyond bunnies!
