Steiff
Steiff bears began making teddy bears and toy animals in 1892. The majority of their bears and animals are made from mohair or alpaca. They also make a wide range of baby safe cuddly toys and teddy bear keyrings and gifts. All Steiff products carry the distinctive button-in-ear tag.
Charlie Bears
Charlie Bears are bears with personality designed by teddy bear artists from around the world. Started in Cornwall, South England by Charlotte Morris and her husband William, they are quality, affordable bears for everyone.
Isabelle Collection bears and animals are the premium, exclusive range from the home of Charlie Bears. All strictly limited editions these bears are made from German Schulte mohair and designed by teddy bear artist Isabelle Lee.
Kosen animals
Kosen animals are made with incredible attention to detail, resulting in life-like creatures that inspire a love of nature. Their designers first observe animals in their natural habitat or a zoo and follow the process through to hand-stitching of up to seventy individual pieces.
