Bear facts
Each little bear is handcrafted at home in my studio. The same pattern is used for all the bears and as each little bear comes alive – with their own looks and personality, the sizes may vary slightly as they are all individuals and unique – just like us! The approximate size for the bears range between 28cm – 30cm tall.
They are all knitted in either 100% pure wool or a blend of pure wool and Mohair or Boucle pure Alpaca wool & mohair for a more fuzzy bear look. Their eyes are made from either French knots and little noses hand-embroidered, or sometimes I will use glass safety eyes and brown moulded safety bear noses. Their little bodies are filled with 100% polyester (made in the UK) conforming to UK health and safety standards.
Each little bear leaves my studio fully clothed which have been carefully hand-sewn and/or knitted by me personally from the highest quality cotton materials and pure wools such as Mohair, Silk, Cashmere and Alpaca wools.
My little bears and their accessories are not designed for very young children and are only suitable for a much older child and adults who enjoy collecting something that is unique and cannot be bought on the high street.
Pricing
As each individual bear and accessories take several weeks to complete I only accept custom orders which can also be made in a colour palette of your own choice.
Each bear and individual clothes and accessories can take over 50 hours of work (so please bear with me) and therefore the pricing will depend on many factors such as the size, type of wool used to knit the bear body and of course, the materials used for their clothes etc.
If wanting to purchase a little individual bear (without any of the accessories) then he/she will come complete with an outfit – consisting of either a dress/dungarees, shoes, jumper or cardigan, hat or scarf set.
Please get in touch if you are interested in making a purchase through my contacts page and I will personally get back you with prices and timescales. Once an order is placed “Customer” orders cannot be cancelled or deposits refunded.
Postage and packaging
Once final payment has been received then the items will be packed by hand and shipped within 1-3 days once payments have cleared. All items will be provided with a tracking reference so that you can keep up to date with the delivery. Bear Accessories will not be held responsible for any lost or damaged items one they leave my studio or during courier/shipping.
