Charlie Bears keyrings have been the subject of a blog post before now! We posted back in 2010 about the first range of keyring bears which were very popular but unfortunately were discontinued some months later.

Well they’re back! Charlie Bears Bag Buddies are a brand new collection of ten five inch bears, pandas and animals with metal keyring clips. They could be clipped to your handbag, a schoolbag or your keys making them much easier to find! Or, of course, they could just sit on display with your other bears.

Each of the exquisite miniature characters is fully jointed just like the plush and mohair Charlie Bears. Each has it’s own personality which they show off with their accessories - beaded necklaces, ribbons and bells. They all have a strong metal bag clip so there’s no fear of them falling off on your travels.

There’s something for everyone in this new range. In total there are four bears, four pandas, a mouse and a monkey! You can browse the keyrings below, but we must say there is a fantastic selection of long and short-pile plush and gorgeous colours. Amazingly for such tiny creations, they are all hand-made, including their little stitched noses and their accessories.

We think Charlie Bears have surpassed themselves with this collection. There’s a lot of bear detail for a little price! Demand is high so please keep an eye on our Corfe Bears Facebook page for details of deliveries

We’re very excited to press the special button and reveal Kaycee Bears new 2012 Collection. We have some stunning bears, bunnies and more in the very finest plush and mohair fur.

There are two additions to the range of Kaycee Bears plush that aren’t limited in edition - Damson bunny rabbit is a stunner in purple and Ronnie panda is a cuddly guy who would look lovely with Roxy from the last collection.

If you love Kaycee Bears Limited Editions you’re in for a treat! You may fall for Chi panda, gorgeous Gilbert, foxy Nigel, or sweet Tarquin. If you like your bears wild and unique you’ll love colourful Jester and Barnabee - complete with wings and antennae! If it’s other animals you’d like to add to your collection we are very taken with the lovely ginger tom cat called Thomas, as well as the charmingly-named and very cute Teacup bunny rabbit. It gets even more exciting - Herbert is the very first Kaycee Hedgehog! He is really sweet with loads of character.

A special edition for 2012 is Kaycee Bears Diamond Jubilee Teddy Bear. Limited to an edition of just 60 and  made to commemorate 60 wonderful years that HRH The Queen has been on the throne of Great Britain. She is a sophisticated and regal bear, and she wears a very special Swarovski-crystal-adorned crown pendant - a replica of the British Coronation Crown.

Kaycee Bears mohair limited editions are really special bears with low limitations and a unique look. This collection introduces jet-black Sebastian, cute and curly Lottie and the vintage-style Lily rabbit. Then there are a set of three sweet (pardon the pun) bears with confectionery names and pastel colours. Smartie, Parma Violet and the delectable Lemon Fizz. Irresistible!

We hope the wait for these new arrivals won’t be too long. Please pre-order now, with no deposit required and we will confirm the date shortly.

Thanks Kelsey and team for a fantastic new collection!  XX

Just a little note to let you know how we organise our Charlie Bears pre-orders.

Sometimes you might be disappointed to find that we are not taking pre-orders on a particular plush Charlie Bear, even though he or she isn’t retired and we are expecting more stock. The reason is that we know that we all hate to wait for our bears! If we take 30 pre-orders it’s very unlikely we’ll get enough of that bear on our next delivery to fulfill all of the orders. So some people have to wait until the next time, which could be a long time coming.

By limiting the number of pre-orders we take, we hope to ensure that as soon as we receive a Charlie Bear we will have enough to send to everyone with a confirmed pre-order. Then we’ll open the books again and take more orders. (read more…)

Charlie Bears 2012 Collection Part 1 is about to be unleashed! The official launch date is Friday the 17th of February at 00.01am and we’ll look forward to seeing you right here.

You can look forward to a fantastic, brand new selection of Charlie Bears plush bears, along with some new and exciting additions.

Plush Charlie Bears start at just £29.99. We can’t reveal too much - that would spoil the surprises! But we can tell you that there will be a brand new Charlie 2012 bear and a fantastic new William V.

In addition we are very excited to be one of a select few retailers with the privilege of offering Charlie Bears Show Specials. These are limited edition plush and mohair bears only available to stockists who viewed Charlie Bears new collection at the Spring Fair at Birmingham NEC recently. These bears are in very limited quantities but we will have a few available for pre-order on launch day.

The are two very exciting new ranges from our favourite bear-makers and I think we can let you in on the news. We will be introducing the long-awaited Charlie Bears keyrings and they are better than ever before. The second new range is Charlie Bears Travel Buddies - little bears just big enough for a cuddle, for the times “When you can’t ‘bear’ to travel alone”!

Finally we will have some lovely new additions to the Charlie Bears Little Baby Organics collection. These bears and other cute animals are made from organic cotton, with eco-friendly, recycled stuffing and they are safe for babies right from birth. A great way to introduce a little one to Charlie Bears nice and early!

That’s it for our sneak preview. See you in the small hours of Friday morning for lots more details and the beautiful pictures we have all been waiting for. XX
