My name is Sandra Marie and I am the artist behind Bear Hugs Originals. I have been creating/designing teddies and their little friends for over 25 years. The bears I create are made of the finest quality mohair, alpaca and luxury faux fur available. Each Bear Hugs Original is handmade and designed by me using my own original pattern that I have created over the years.
Each Bear Hugs Originals is an original, authentic adult collectible. Please Note that these bears are not intended for infants and young children due to small parts and potential for damage. Each creation comes with a sewn in tush tag with my authentic "Bear Hugs Originals" logo.
I offer layaway on all my creations over $100.00. My layaway policy is two equal payments, half to hold the bear and the other half net 30 days. Layaway payments are non-refundable. Thank-you.
