Polka Dot Club: Bear - Black

Welcome to the Polka Dot Club! Handmade with patience andcare, the POLKA DOT CLUB is a collection of heritage toys createdby second-generation teddy bear makerJen Murphy. Each piece is made using natural materials and techniques employed by the finest toy makers over 100 years ago, all the while adding contemporary elements bringing heritage toy making into the 21st century. PDC toys are hand-made in Minneapolis, USA but Jen recently expanded the studio to include a small group of sewers in Lima, Peru. This collaboration has been a powerful one. Its not fast, inexpensive, nor easy to work in Peru, but it is meaningful. This sewing group was started to support hearing impaired women and now employs a handful of very talented sewers. ~ mohair fur woven onto a cotton backing ~ hand embroidered nose ~ soft-poly stuffing ~ safety eyes and wool felt ~ cotton neck tie ~ stands about 9.5 inches tall Intended for Children ages 3 and Up Handmade in Minneapolis, USA These are toys that pay homage to the past but are wholly modern playthings for today. They are heirlooms for now & forever.
