About The Ecobears
Ecobears have been crafting Teddy Bears of quality and artistic excellence with a difference, since being established in 1996. All our bears are individually hand-made, so each is unique – and no two bears can ever be exactly the same. We choose and incorporate traditional mohair with modern natural fibres & recycled materials, to encourage the concept of Earth Friendly sustainability – designed to last an Eco-lifetime.
