The Teddy Bear Partnership
The Teddy Bear Partnership
Three's company bears from The Teddy Bear Partnership are a loveable range of very distinctive bears who have their home in the market town of Otley in Yorkshire's Wharfedale and are very proud of their heritage.
The bears were conceived and created by two friends who previously worked for the internationally renowned Big Softies Teddy Bears before the closure of the company in 1996.
The designs are all original and are made to the exacting standards that collectors of high quality, hand made bears demand.
Made from fine quality English or German mohair, using traditional components and techniques to craft the bears. All the stages from the initial cutting out of the fabric to the final finishing and grooming of the bear are carried out manually using hand tools.
As a result no two bears will be exactly the same and each bear has its own individual character whilst still remaining true to the original design concept.
The bears are filled with polyester fibre from Yorkshire Mills or with plastic pellets from France, depending on the required 'sit' that the bear has been designed to have.
Certain bears, which have small eyes or are filled with plastic pellets, are made as Collectors Bears and are unsuitable for small children and hence cannot be supplied with a CE label.
