As the destination commemorates the Year of the Rabbit, the well-known fairytale character will make a show-stopping appearance in the 400-square-foot area. The pop-up will be open for three months and will carry a unique range of limited-edition goods. Incorporating a range of unusual experiences, such as a Miffy costume character to greet guests upon arrival and a sizeable Miffy-themed lamp and a picture frame for photo opportunities, this pop-up allows visitors to engage with Miffy in a unique setting. “Chinatown London is the ideal location for a standalone pop-up and its iconic reputation aligns perfectly with Miffy’s international renown. We are so excited to be bringing a little of Miffy’s magic to such a dynamic and exciting community and celebrate what is set to be a truly special year,” said Marja Kerkhof, Managing Director of Miffy’s global rights owner Mercis bv.
