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. (more…)

We’re very excited that Charlie and William of Charlie Bears will be visiting us on the 26th of May 2012 on the Great British Bear Trail for a Charlie Bears signing event! And they’re bringing with them a very special, limited edition signing event Charlie Bear called Farthing.

Harmans Cross Railway Station *

Our shop is very full up with bears, so to fit more collectors in we’re taking our Charlie Bears to the lovely village hall in Harmans Cross. It’s just a short trip by car from Swanage, with plenty of parking available OR we highly recommend you take the steam train! The journey from Swanage to Harman’s Cross takes you through the beautiful countryside of the Isle of Purbeck - and Harman’s Cross station is right next door to the village hall. If you enjoy the steam experience you could continue onto the village of Corfe Castle to visit the ruined castle which has protected Purbeck since the medieval era. (more…)

We’re very happy to have a beautiful photo of our exclusive Kaycee Bears to share - with big thanks to our lovely customer, Doreen Nicholson, who photographed her happy pair for us.

Lucky was introduced at our Kaycee Bears signing back in April 2011.  She was our very first mohair Kaycee Bear designed by Kelsey Cunningham especially for us, with special requests from Hayley!  Lucky was created from fantastic, long-pile, wavy mohair in golden blond.  She sold out in a flash!

Kaycee Bears Charmer is the perfect partner for Lucky.  He is made from a similar mohair, but with a contrasting colour reminiscent of delicious chocolate!  He has paw pads made from luxurious cashmere, expressive eyes backed with a little white felt and the unmistakable Kaycee Bears bold, needle-felted nose.  He is accessorised with a lovely silver-colour pendant with a collection of pretty charms.

We’re really proud of our exclusive couple and we’re sure you will like them too!  Click here for more details of Kaycee Bears Charmer

Charlie Bears 2011 Collection Part 2 and Isabelle Collection 2011 Part 2 are here and they are fabulous!  We know you’ve all been waiting with baited breath and hammering the phones if you’re a Charlie Bears club member who received the catalogue last week!

In the plush range we have the beautiful and very popular Heidi who we have already taken so many pre-orders on that we have stopped in an attempt to fulfill them all on our initial delivery (we hope!).  Lawrence is a gorgeous cuddly bear with unusual fur.

We have two limited edition plumo bears in this collection - Buddy is a smaller bear with a round tummy and Hubble is a big boy with beautiful brindled fur pattern.  These are both limited to 3000 each and made from plush fur with a mohair muzzle.

Panda fans are well catered for - we have Jayden, Higgins, Huey, Hattie and the rather delicate Hector!

The collection is completed with three smaller bears - Squidge with lovely, wavy patchwork fur, deep brown Eddie and the posable Jenkins.  For those who like a larger cuddle we have the fluffly lady Lorna, big Donnie who must be related to Charlie 2011 and the fantastic grizzly Benson.

In the mohair Isabelle Collection we are treated to some really big bears, adorable mice and some mohair relatives of our favourite Charlie Bears plush teddy bears and pandas.

The mice troop is comprised of Cheese and Pickle, Crumb and Cracker.  Unfortunately our entire allocation of these irresistible rodents is already sold out!  Unfortunately also fully pre-ordered already are Comet and Conker, Earl and Endeavour, Mulligan, Muddle, Mr Pickwick, Hercule, Forrest, Hetty and Figgy Pudding.  As you can tell this is a highly sought after collection and we expect the full range to be fully pre-sold within days!

Happily we do still have available to pre-order (in very limited quantities) Toodlepip, Muppet, Dickens and Milton; the gorgeous Arkwright who is definitely a mohair relation of the gorgeous plush Manfred!  And finally the stunning Isabelle Masterpiece 2011 - a fantastic panda made from a combination of mohair and cuddly alpaca.  Could this be a series of special Isabelle bears to keep an eye out for in each collection?!

We are very excited to introduce some fantastic Steiff Limited Edition Bears who are brand new for 2011.  These bears are all due to arrive over the next few months, so you can pre-order to secure yours now and pay when they are ready to be dispatched to you.

Our first new additions are a pair of lovely brothers - Steiff Jakob and Josef Bear.  They are both classic bears related to the 1906 replica teddy bears with their lightly air-brushed features and their squeakers!  Steiff’s Vincent Bear is a ‘cone nose’ bear with that very prominent and distinctive muzzle.

Steiff’s Marmaduke bear is absolutely irresistible - he has such sparkling eyes and open arms just asking for a cuddle.  His friendly facial expression is similar to that of Steiff’s 1926 replica bear.  This bear is based on one that was given to loyal Steiff employees who had served the first 25 years of the company’s manufacturing.

There are three lovely ladies in the latest collection of limited editions.  The first, Steiff’s Pearl teddy bear is made from a beautiful soft ivory mohair; she wears a string of elegant faux pearls and has a special Swarovski crystal button in ear.

Steiff’s Wizard of Oz tribute, Dorothy, is a bear full of fantastic features - she wears a blue gingham dress just like the one worn by Judy Garland in the 1939 film, sports Swarovski Elements crystals on her paw pad and is hiding a music box in her tummy which plays ‘Somewhere Over the Rainbow’.

Anni Bear is a dainty bear with a very sweet face.  She has been made from vintage-look mohair complete with little stitched ‘repairs’ and she wears a pretty jacket of crochet lace-trimmed cashmere.

Finally we are introducing two special bears for winter.  Steiff Eskimo Bears have become a regular tradition and 2011 sees the finely-dressed eskimo accompanied by a cute polar bear cub made from alpaca.  Also very well-accessorised is Steiff’s Mistletoe Teddy Bear who is wearing a sprig of mistletoe made from green and white felt.  Both perfect bears for seasonal gifts or displays!

We will have more Steiff limited editions available for order very soon so watch this space!

We are delighted to be celebrating the forthcoming Royal Wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton with this fantastic, limited edition pair of teddy bears by Kaycee Bears.

The Royal Wedding bears have both been hand-made from beautifully soft curly kid mohair in warm winter white.  Kate has been airbrushed around her paw pads, nose and eyes with burgundy, which matches her flower.  William is airbrushed by hand with royal blue.  Each of the fully-jointed bears carries the trademark Kaycee Bears crystal in their cashmere paw pad.

It may be late this year, but Easter is nearly here and what will your Easter bunny be bringing?  Will it be mountains of chocolate or something to be treasured?

We have some lovely toys and collectables that would make a perfect Easter present whether for a newborn baby or a more mature teddy bear collector (and everyone in between)!  So we thought we would tell you all about our bunnies… (more…)
