A limited edition teddy bear made from traditional mohair with a small built in pocket to hold your treasures. As with all of our toy designs, we find inspiration in traditional designs and materials but add a modern detail like the three red X 's across the pocket. The shape and proportions were inspired by Oliver's favorite floppy teddy bear from early childhood. In this bear we chose to design a very structured head and face, and simpler body. These mohair bears are stuffed with wool and will soften and age beautifully with your child. The Pocket Bear also has hand embroidered details, a 100% cotton fleece scarf, and is hand sewn closed.

This fabric was the end of the bolt, so this bear is limited to the small amount of fabric we were able to purchase.

Origin

Made start to finish in our studio in Western, Massachusetts, USA

Packaging

We believe that high quality toys deserve thoughtful packaging. Each toy comes is carefully tucked into it's own hand-stamped kraft gift box (made of recycled materials and tied up with string). Like our toys, the packaging is plastic free.

Care

Our Care & Repair page has a guide for cleaning and repairing your toys which we encourage you to follow. The short answer is: these are natural materials and should be gently hand washed in lukewarm water.

Inner materials

Wool Filling

These are stuffed with 100% wool, ethically sourced from US farms. Wool is a traditional teddy bear stuffing material. It is uniquely lightweight and bouncy. It fills out these toys without making them too firm. Wool has been found to be naturally antibacterial and long lasting. To keep wool in good shape it should be washed by hand. You can find out more in our care & repair section.

Detail Materials

Mohair fabric:

We use 100% wool mohair fabric with cotton backings. This means the pile is made of wool and the woven fabric it is attached to is cotton. We tend to purchase our mohair fabrics as "remnants." This means it was designated as an offcut-- the last piece of fabric on the bolt. Sometimes the fabric isn't made anymore, other times it is just an strange size that can only be used for small pieces like toymaking. Not only are these fabrics all natural, but using them is a great way to reduce waste as they are harder to sell.
