BUNNEY’s “The Rabbit” Takes Center Stage at otherthings by THE SHOPHOUSE
London-based jewelry brand BUNNEY has released their latest edition of Selected Works, titled “The Rabbit,” at otherthings by THE SHOPHOUSE. This two-volume publication delves into the role of the rabbit throughout history, culture, and society, providing a fascinating exploration of its symbolism and significance in art, natural history, design, and literature.
The Wah-Tung Lock Factory: A Chapter in “The Rabbit” That Can’t Be Missed
One of the most captivating chapters in “The Rabbit” focuses on the Wah-Tung Lock Factory from Hong Kong. This company, known for its middle to high-grade locks and metalware, gained fame for its “Rabbit” padlock. These locks, adorned with a rabbit motif, the letter “R,” or an illustrated rabbit, were widely available and affordable, representing a time when mass-produced metal goods played a significant role in the city’s manufacturing boom.
The Rabbit Padlock: A Cultural Icon
The Rabbit padlock gained even more notoriety when it was worn as a necklace by Sid Vicious from the Sex Pistols. The punk rocker famously sported the lock on a chain around his neck, complete with the key. To honor this iconic story, BUNNEY has teamed up with UNDERCOVER to create a special Rabbit Padlock collection, now on display at otherthings. This collection includes pieces such as the Rabbit Padlock Keyring, Necklace, Bracelet, and more, all made from satin-finished 925 sterling silver with enamel fill.
Get Your Hands on “The Rabbit” and the Rabbit Padlock Collection
Both “The Rabbit” and the Rabbit Padlock collection are available at otherthings by THE SHOPHOUSE until February 9, 2025. Don’t miss your chance to explore the fascinating history and cultural significance of the rabbit, and to add a piece of the iconic Rabbit Padlock to your collection.
