BPD Rabbit Unboxing
518BPD is probably the single most requested rabbit design of them all. Honestly, it took us a while to work up the nerve to tackle this one but here we go...
🎉Borderline Personality Rabbit🎉
BPD is described (online and by reputable sources) as having some of the following symptoms: fear of abandonment; difficulty being alone; unstable relationships; shifting and/or distorted self-image; impulsive and/or destructive behaviors; self-harm; extreme emotional swings; chronic feelings of emptiness; and explosive anger.
But we all recognize that no such list can be all-inclusive nor does it necessarily represent your own personal experience with BPD. And, as we embark on a Crowd Design process around this rabbit, we must also accept that no single design can capture all of the variations of BPD and the specific expressions found among individuals. Whatever design we end up with will be - above all else - a 🙏compromise🙏 based on the limitations of plush design and your shared experiences.
A couple of design notes regarding the final product you see here:
Pink represents audaciousness and flamboyance. Lots of stitches to represent self-harm and/or repeated self-destruction (i.e. blow-ups). A little bomb backpack to represent, well, you know!
This product is a result of our Crowd Design Process. Initial sketches were shared on Instagram and Facebook. Those generated hundreds of comments and suggestions.
We started with a relatively simple initial design that left room for YOU to provide feedback and creative direction.
Note that our design team does not contain any persons diagnosed with BPD but we have consulted with friends that have experience with it. We relied on YOU, as a community, to help guide this design to completion.
Finally, there's a bit of a design mismatch between the Rabbit and the Tote Bag. The Tote Bag art was pulled from a period where the Rabbit design had a "button eye" but the actual rabbit DOES NOT have a button eye. SO, please don't feel distressed or confused when you see that these things don't perfectly match!
And a big THANK YOU to everyone who participated in the Crowd Design Process!
