Welcome to Father Rabbit
We're so glad you've found us. Father Rabbit is a space for those who find joy in the thoughtful details — a well-folded napkin, a favourite pen, a home that feels quietly put-together. Whether you’re here for a perfect gift, something lovely for your kitchen, or a little calm in your everyday, we hope you find something that speaks to you.
At Father Rabbit, we believe in doing things properly — not perfectly, but with care, calm, and intention. We’re not here to chase trends or fill cupboards with clutter. Our approach is guided by a few simple ideas: choose thoughtfully, buy once (or as close to once as possible), and surround yourself with things that bring quiet joy to your everyday.
Curated with Purpose
Every item in our stores — from a linen tea towel to a sculptural watering can or a favourite soap — is chosen with attention to quality, form, and function. We look for timeless design, natural materials, and products made to last. We want your mixing bowl to live a long, useful life, not sit pretty for a season and end up in landfill.
Makers We Believe In
We partner with brands and makers who share our values — people doing good work with integrity. That includes New Zealand artisans and small-scale international producers, as well as established brands with strong, transparent sourcing practices. Many of our items are made in small batches, with an emphasis on craftsmanship and sustainability.
Gentle Everyday Living
We’re big on the small things. A bath run just right. A note sent in the post. A drawer of well-made napkins. These aren’t luxury moments — they’re the kind of everyday rituals that ground us. We believe that considered design can support a life that feels slower, calmer, and more connected.
Not Just Pretty
Of course, we love beauty — but function comes first. A dish brush that actually works. A notebook you’ll really use. A jumper you’ll wear again and again. When something earns its place in your home (and your routine), it should feel good and work hard. That’s the benchmark we use when selecting everything we sell.
