I also accept commissions if you would like your very own bespoke bear in the style, colour and fur of your choice.
I will discuss all your requirements with you and show you samples of fur, or fabric to ensure your bear is exactly what you want. Some customers like to choose their own names for their bears, or like bears dressed in certain fabric or outfits - I'll work with you to make it special to you.
You can even have fabric specially printed in a specific design. Jessica and Matty (pictured) were commissioned as a mix of UK/Australian designs.
All commissions require a 50% deposit, payable once your decision on fur, style etc is confirmed. Commissions have a minimum lead in time of three to six months for completion, although if you have a shorter timescale, I'm happy to discuss this with you and if I can complete it earlier, then I will. Final balance plus postage is payable once the bear is finished but before delivery.
Please ensure you read our terms and conditions before entering into an agreement for a commission bear.
