Peregrine Classic Teddy Bear

 Peregrine is a new larger sized classic Teddy Bear

Available from 18:00 UK time, 31st January 2025 SOLD

A new pattern for the first bear of 2025. I wanted to revise the proportions and create a very traditional looking bear, and in order to give him the feel and presence of a larger old ted decided that I would increase the size to 22 inches.

Description:-

Seated 14.5 inches ( 37 cms)

Standing 22 inches ( 55 pms)

Weight 40 ons ( 1.15kg)

Peregrine is made from a pale corn colour mohair.  The finish is soft, quite dense, and very lightly distressed.

Eyes are vintage boot buttons,  paws made from cotton lined wool felt.

Peregrine has traditional black embroidered nose and claw detail, the nose thread is very slightly distressed to compliment the overall appearance.

A feature of these bears which is very important to me is the weight and feel; he is stuffed with excelsior wood wool, firm in some places but also with looser areas softened with natural wool fibre, a little loose filled around joint areas so that he has some give and that distinctive "crunchy" feel of an old bear who's stuffing has settled a little over the years.

He has a traditional tilt growl voice mechanism.

His waistcoat is English wool herringbone, with a little design feature of a fish tail back, buttons are natural shell and the scarf, tied as a loose Ascot, is cotton print.

Peregrine's purchase price is UK £585.00. Plus Shipping at Cost SOLD

UK Special Delivery £20

International shipping via insured and tracked service will be estimated based on information available and added to the invoice.

Customs duty and inspection charges in the destination country are beyond my control and the responsibility of the buyer.

New Classic Bear Available

Patrick is a classic, centre seam head pattern, 5 joint teddy bear

Ref 011//24 - The 11th and last bear for the year.

18 inches 45 cms  standing

13 inches 34 cms seated

Another bear from my 2024 classic bear pattern, this is the last bear for the year and the last of the bears from this pattern for the time being, so I decided to finish with an unusual colour.

More photos of Patrick further down after the description

Patrick is  made from a slightly wavy and distressed mohair in a soft but intense dusty vintage pink colour.

He has deep set vintage boot button eyes and wool felt paw pads which are cotton lined.  With the pink fur I decided to use a soft brown/beige colour for the nose and claw embroidery in place of the usual black.

Patrick is filled with excelsior wood wool, in places it is blended with soft natural wool fibre to give a finish which is softer and looser in some places, and slightly "crunchy" to give weight and feel reminiscent of a vintage bear.

Patrick has a traditional tilt growl mechanism.

Recent bears have all had a waistcoat and tie of some kind,  Patrick's tailored waistcoat has a shawl style half collar, metal enameled buttons and is made from English herringbone tweed.  The cravat is a plain loose knotted ascot made from cotton.

Website Problems

 I am trying to migrate my website and use a new method of building and updating it.   When trying to make updates recently I realised that I was using archaic software and not only could I not get a new version of it, I couldn't even find a way to read the files I had made before.

So far it has not been going well; you will find a frozen website and a strange holding page on Wordpress !

Don't hold your breath but rest assured I'm trying to fix it and if any new bears are ready I will make them known via my mailing list, Facebook and Instagram.  Please email me if you would like to be added to the mailing list.

My webmail address is:-

My website, and it is very much still changing as I build it, has a temporary address is here:-

Roger - Bear in a shirt

Roger is a six-joint character bear

Roger is  made from two shades of soft windswept finish mohair; contrasts on his ears, snout, chest, paws and the tip of his tail.  I like the contrasts and the fur blended very well but i wanted to avoid straight lines so all the joins between the colours are curves to soften the effect.

He has vintage boot buttons eyes. His filling is a mixture of soft man made fibre, excelsior wood-wool and plastic pellets.  Roger's feet are wool felt which is shaped and pull sculpted.

He is designed to stand firmly and his legs are weighted with steel pellets.

Roger has my "signature" embroidered nose which is set, colour shaded and wax finished to a smooth satin.

His shirt is made from a vintage cotton print and has imitation pearl buttons.  The convertible style casual collar can button to the neck or left with the top button open to make a lapel style.
