Vanilla Pod by Barbara-Ann Bears - 9cm Reviews

2025 marks the 35th anniversary of Barbara-Ann Bears, lovingly made in Scotland, by Barbara and Andy! All of their wonderful creations certainly brighten up any space with their charming personalities, soulful eyes and bold colours - it's no wonder that they're so well-loved and popular! Vanilla Pod is a sweet little miniature bear crafted from a short and sparse sandy blonde coloured mohair fabric. She has tiny black glass eye s which have been delicately airbrushed, light brown suedette paw pads and is filled with a little steel shot for a wonderful weighted feel. Vanilla Pod wears a large pink ribbon bow around her neck for the perfect finishing touch! Vanilla Pod is a one-of-a-kind miniature made especially for The Bear Garden. Size: 9cm / 3.5 inches 5-way jointed Age: 14+ Surface washable Barbara-Ann Bears are made by talented husband and wife team of Barbara-Ann and Andy Cunningham in Scotland. They are known around the world for their creative, colourful and wacky designs! Barbara hand-dyes her own mohair and fabrics, and as nearly every bear is a one-of-a-kind creation, no two are ever the same! Andy has the painstaking task of embroidering the noses. This is done from many layers of co-ordinating, soft-cotton tapestry thread, which perfectly complement the bear's mohair.
