This is Jake, a handsome bear who is very shy and may come off a little snobbish. This two toned bear is made to order with no patterns used, which makes each bear unique in its own little way. He is made from nappy felt (100% recycled fiber), and stuffed with fabric scraps and eco-poly fiber, which makes him a huggable bear, very soft and cuddly. He measures about 18" tall and comes in a variety of colors. Options are tan, chocolate brown, creamy white, black or charcoal gray. Jake wears a leather riveted tag in his ear, which bears the "Arden and James" logo. A custom made collar can be requested with any name/text, for an additional cost of $5. These two toned bears should be hand-washed and sun-dried to maintain its cute and cuddly appearance. Please allow one week for the production and shipping of this cute, huggable bear. **Each bear saves about 3 plastic bottles from landfill**

I am an industrial designer with a home workshop near Philadelphia, PA. I am a mother of two little boys, and a maker of things whenever I have a free hand.
I work with natural materials to create functional and meaningful pieces that will last a lifetime or longer. I allow the natural materials to "be themselves," or I let their natural characteristics become the character of the finished piece.
My pieces are sold in local boutiques and museum shops, as well as online.
