    I have always loved Teddy Bears. In 1996 I made my first mohair bear and the rest is History. I live on the East coast of England with my husband, two Cavaliers and a Ragdoll cat.

Hello and welcome to the Pollys Vintage Bears online shop.
All of the Pud bears are designed and handmade by myself from good quality mohair, and have glass eyes and cotterpin joints. They are collectors' bears and therefore are not suitable for young children.
The old bears and soft toys usually come to me in a sorry state and, using my bear making skills, mended and brought back to life.
Other vintage items will be added if I find something that fits in with my shop style.

Payment preferred by Direct Payment or Paypal please.
I also accept personal cheques and money orders from UK. However your purchase will not be shipped/posted until the cheque/order is received and cleared/cashed.

Shipping

COVID19 - There are many hold ups in the International postal services atm. USPS in the USA are running very behind at this time. I have parcels posted at the end of April that are still in the system on 21st May. Please be patient and I will try to keep you informed as to where your parcel is.

I post the item as soon as payment is received and cleared.
For the UK I will use a courier or Royal Mail First Class. Items worth over £25 will be sent by Special Delivery (next day tracked and signed).
If there is to be any delay in posting/shipping that I know about, I will message you to let you know.
Items over £25 outside the UK will be sent by Royal Mail airmail tracked (and signed for if the option is available in your country).
Couriers are used for international delivery if the parcel is large or heavy (large bears or multiples). This service is very fast and efficient (parcels have sometimes gone from UK to USA within 4 days!)
Most of my items have postage included in the price - the price you see is the price you pay.
The only exceptions are bears that are particlarly large or heavy. Any high postage overages will be refunded.

Additional policies and FAQs

Please note the mohair bears and vintage bears are not suitable for children due to the metal parts in their joints, glass eyes, etc.

The hand knitted bears made from fancy yarns are for over 14 years only. I endeaver to make the items to a high standard and I am very safety conscious.
Please do not leave a young baby or child that still chews with any of these items. Some have woollen tails and tassels and some of this fancy yarn used for this type of bear is quite hairy and may shed. Also check any toys for damage on a regular basis and take away until it can be mended.

The CE marked knitted toys are tested to strict guidelines and are suitable from birth.
