Schulte Mohair and Alpaca Bears by Rowan Bears, West Sussex

Hand-made Bears

Below are examples of Bears that are available. All are limited editions or bespoke, one-off creations. All of the Bears are made from Schulte Mohair or Alpaca. Please feel free to contact me if you require further information on any of the Bears.

		Rowan Bears are all hand-made, one of a kind, or limited edition designs, made with genuine Schulte Mohair or Alpaca. They are 5-way cotterpin jointed to enable full articulation of the limbs. Filling is formed from cotton fibre, pellets and/or steel shot, which results in a lovely weighted feel. The cute bear (left) measures 7 inches (18cm) and is made from golden Schulte mohair. He has glass eyes, an embroidered nose and mouth, ultrasuede pawpads, claw stitching and is weighted. As one of a kind, he is priced at GBP 85.00. Please remember, these Bears are collectors items and are not suitable for children.

		These bears are designed as replicas of antique bears, and are made from vintage mohair, supplied by Norbeary Fabrics, which dates back to between 1879 and 1920! The bears have antique boot button eyes, an appropriate quantity of bald and thread-bear patches and ‘repairs‘, and wobble, cotterpin joints to make them floppy. Weighted, and complete with ultrasuede pawpads and claw stitching, these beautiful bears measure 10 inches (25cm).
