Upcycled Collectible
Bears and Friends
Every Bears and Friends collectible is individually handcrafted from up-cycled fabrics and garments. Some designs are inspired by childhood characters, while others celebrate the beauty of materials passed on and reimagined into something new. No two are ever the same.
