Zimm's Bears and Hares / custom designed teddy bears

See our Bears | About Us | Order / Contact Info

Our antique-style teddy bears and rabbits are ready for bear hugs!

We use quality, soft mohairs, alpaca and mohair blends and touchable synthetic plushes. Sweet, expressive faces are specialties of a Zimm's bear or hare. Black, shining eyes are German glass and noses and mouth details are embroidered in pearl cotton.

Our larger bears, 12 inches and up, "talk" to you; each has a "growler" placed into its tummy during the stuffing process. Stuffed tightly with hypoallergenic polyfil, our furry friends sit solidly. All joints are movable. Our dressed bears are wearing either "people" clothes or handmade outfits sewn from our own patterns. Teresa signs and dates all bears and hares purchased.

We welcome the opportunity to do custom orders. We hope you enjoy taking a peek at our cuddly creations!
