O
ur story started in 1981 when our
founder opened a cart on Church
Street in Burlington, Vermont and
began selling teddy bears that he made
in his garage. Thirty-five years later, our
bears continue to be best friends, a part of
the family, and beloved heirlooms. Each
one of our meticulously designed, artisan,
and handcrafted bears is guaranteed for a
lifetime.
While we never underestimate the
wonderful power of a bear hug, the teddy
bears in our Bears That Care program go
the extra mile by bringing awareness and
support to organizations that do amazing
work.

It is part of every teddy bear’s nature to
give you hugs when needed, provide
courage when you need strength, and dry
your tears with warm smiles. We take our
bears and their responsibilities very
seriously, which is why we created the
Bears That Care program and partner
with nonprofits of all sizes to make a
meaningful impact in the lives of our
neighbors and communities.
