BEAUT BEARS

Choosing a BeauT Bear means choosing a hand-made one-of-a-kind bruin after own design. Not a single BeauT Bear is the same, although you will probably see by their faces they all come from the same 'family'. BeauT Bears are collectors' bears and not toys for young children... The history of BeauT Bears is probably quite similar to the histories of so many other teddy bear artists, with one difference: at first I absolutely did not want to have anything to do with teddy bears. Actually BeauT Bears thank their existence to the perseverance of one of my sisters (who was convinced I was absolutely-going-to-enjoy-bearmaking, and she happened to be so right) and the fact that one day, early 1997, I could not resist a piece of plush fabric that crossed my path! My sister provided me with the necessary things such as eyes and joints, and soon after my first bear was born. At that time living in the city of Dordrecht less than a 5 minutes walk from one of Holland's most renowned teddy bear..
