Based in the heart of Santa Barbara, Plush Teddies is an exclusively online retailer that brings the magic of finely crafted teddy bears to collectors and gift-givers worldwide. At the core of its carefully curated collection are the extraordinary Charlie Bears, celebrated for their craftsmanship, softness, and charm.
Plush Teddies founder Daniela Hassman discovered the magic of Charlie Bears when her son received one as a baby shower gift. She fell in love with their exceptional quality and distinct character, and now brings this passion to Santa Barbara, with an online shop offering a carefully curated selection of these sought-after bears.
Unlike the mass-produced stuffed animals you might find at the grocery store, Charlie Bears are hand-made with ultra high-end fabrics like silky mohair, premium alpaca fur, and velvety plush. These materials give each bear an irresistibly soft and luxurious feel, far superior to the texture of typical plush toys. Simply holding a Charlie Bear is an experience of comfort and delight, making them perfect for collectors and gift-givers alike.
One of the most exciting aspects of Charlie Bears is their exclusivity. Many bears are released as limited editions, with production strictly capped, and even those that are not officially labeled as limited editions are still limited in production. Once a bear sells out, it’s often impossible to find it again unless purchased through the robust secondary market, which exists thanks to Charlie Bears’s massive following worldwide.
This exclusivity, paired with their heirloom-quality construction, makes Charlie Bears more than toys—they are works of art and cherished keepsakes. Every bear is thoughtfully hand-crafted and artist-designed, ensuring that they not only feel extraordinary but also exude unique personality and charm.
This holiday season, Plush Teddies is spreading even more joy. Sign up for the Plush Teddies newsletter and you’ll receive 10% off your first order and a chance to win Russell, a luxurious Charlie Bear known for his soft fur and unique charm. The winner will be announced on December 26, 2024, making it the perfect post-holiday treat.
Whether you’re a seasoned collector or just discovering these “Bears with Personalities,” Plush Teddies invites you to experience the magic of Charlie Bears. With their irresistible feel, exclusive production, and worldwide following, these bears are companions you’ll treasure for a lifetime.
