Willow Bears are hand-made in England. This is important as it is a real statement about these adorable bears and the love and craft invested in making them a true keepsake.
More and more now we are seeing bears come from factories, sweatshops, in Asia yet sold as hand-made. We don’t like this.
We don’t want to be part of the factory sweatshop movement chasing the cheapest price for products possible as this can lead to cutting corners and that is the last thing you want for a bear or dragon you hope to have for a lifetime before passing it on to someone else to love.
At Willow Bears, quality matters. We are committed to being socially responsible and ethical from the sourcing of fabric to wooden joints made from sustainably sourced timber to paying fairly for the talented bear artists and stylists we use to bring these beautiful characters to life.
