About the Bears
All my bears are loosely and fully jointed. Each one is filled with polyester and heavily weighted with steel shot and comes with traditional black glass eyes and a stitched and waxed nose, They have cotton paws and are sympathetically and carefully aged to give them a vintage and worn look. The bears clothes are invariably made from vintage fabrics and genuine antique lace. You will also find that I add Victorian and Edwardian accessories to give your bear an authentic feel. Your special bear will have a sewn in tag, and a swing tag with all his or her important details. Every swing tag on the back carries my signature. Your special bear will arrive packaged with care in tissue and placed in a box.
​
Due to the nature of components used. all my bears are unsuitable for children under the age of 14
