Karin Peire, also known as 'Keuns and Bears', from Oostende, Belgium.

Karin has been making these adorable creations, since 2002. Karin approaches her work with great depth and imagination, to create more eccentric and distinctive characters, time and time again. Meticulously stitched, each creation has a look of primitive innocence. The different styles produced by this artist are endless. We are especially pleased to be able to include Karin as one of our new European artists at Silly Bears.

Karin will be creating five traditional creations for our Summer Collection 2010. Launch date 1st of May.
