To me, the ears need more decoration. This is a hidden disorder, while some disorders are easy to see and discern, those needing adaptive devices, these are not usually seen in such a way. Chronic pain is one such hidden disorder, that could be relayed upon the ears as sharp jagged lines. Tinnitus can also be an issue, which could easily be sharp needle like lines aimed straight into the ears, followed by swirling lines for intense vertigo, which can cause severe dizziness, nausea, unsteadiness, even falls.
I too am not a fan of the checkerboard print for this. Maybe save that for a different bunny. I like the teal – purple – gray ideas. I also agree with putting the items in the back. They are hidden disorders. Why put them in front on the tummy to bare to the world. We hide our issues, not out of choice, but we do.
I have never heard of a sunflower being used to represent the disease, but if it does, then I would certainly like to see it incorporated in the design, even if the rabbit simply has one to hold onto, as if they are grasping onto it fore hope. -
Absolutely love this idea!! Ita bags are the perfect way to show off things we love and want to share but don't always have the energy to explain. Although I love the color, personally I would have a hard time coordinating it with my clothing choices without feeling like it's sticking out too much. A black, grey/dark grey, or off white would feel easier to wear. It can be hard putting yourself out there and displaying your interests, so for the bag to already stick out without anything in it might be too much.
Also, what if one of the eyes was the icon for hidden things ?? As in the eye with the line through it (like the one you click to see your password not in asterisks). ![](https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0618/3793/4758/t/1/assets/m4a8knp1658z68wflgy_1200x.png?v=1733337802) -
Sorry to add to the suggestions: i love orange, but I'm personally not a fan of this peachy tone…
maybe die Bunny can have a mask with a smiley face on it but hidden is a sad/ or not feeling as we'll face: as a literal symbol for The masking we have to put energy into if we want or not -
This is a very clever idea. Only i will add the idea of do another alternative color (maybe sky blue or soft turquoise) and make the shoulder strap the same color of the bag.(i like the peach color, personally) The idea of the sunflowers who i can read from other suggestions is very good, too.
In the future, this have the potencial to be mini bags, for example coin pouches. -
I love the sunflower idea and having the disability flag on the ears, kind of hidden
