Melanie has been making these beautiful traditional bears professionally since 2004. Melanie bears are made from the very finest of materials and natural fabrics of the finest quality - mainly silks, cottons and linen for the clothes. We are delighted at Silly Bears to be stocking her beautiful bears and were overwhelmed when we received our 'Summer Collection'. Totally, totally outstanding working. A True Artist!
Melanie has created a selection of five outstanding traditional bears for our 'Summer Collection'.
*Handbag Hugsters - 'the little bear who is always there' - supplied in indivdual cotton bags, these little bears are designed to live in your handbag.
*Due to the popularity of Melanie's work our 'Summer Collection' is largely sold out. However, Melanie has kindly agreed to make another three larger bears for us. Thank you Melanie!!! Launch date early July 2008.
