Bartholomew Bear was anxious about taking to the seas, but when Bashful Bunny invited him out on a boat trip, he knew he couldn’t miss the adventure! Luckily, his cousin Leola Bear had just the thing; an outfit so smart it left him feeling completely ship-shape.
Bashful is inclined to agree. “I don’t know how good he’ll be at hauling anchors, but he certainly looks the part”.
Bartholomew is tapping his toes to a sea shanty and can’t wait to welcome you aboard! Ready to set sail?
Looking for Leola Bear? You’ll likely find her in her South London studio – surrounded by painting, sculptures and fashion designs. When she’s not there, she’s off traveling; looking for inspiration – and the perfect shade of plum.
A talented, distracted artist (with a habit of reheating the same mug of tea three times), Leola always gets lost in the process. She can’t help it – when inspiration strikes, the hours just melt away… Fortunately, her cousin Bartholomew Bear is always on-hand with a tea top-up and (slightly squashed) plate of biscuits. He knows the drill!
He also happens to be her favorite muse. She’s made every one of his costumes, from the ruby fluff of his Heartthrob stage outfit to the Bat Bear cape that he wore for a Halloween party. Even his bold Sun costume was a Leola original, designed to give him confidence for an upcoming carnival debut.
One day her talent will be recognized. For now though, Leola’s happy making magical things for her friends and family.
Say hello to our most famous and loved teddy bear – Bartholomew Bear - as a youngster! His fur is still growing and a lighter tone, but you can already see an adorable nose and twinkling eyes…
Bartholomew Bear Junior loves to dress up and dance! There’s a large dressing up box in his room full of outfits and costumes, made by his artist cousin Leola Bear. His father is a professional musician, which is where Bartholomew gets his love of music and performing.
Bartholomew Bear Junior can be a little on the shy side at first. Please be kind and speak gently. Do encourage him to brush his fur and teeth regularly and continue to work on his reading.
(And, no, he is not allowed too much ‘screen time’!)
