About Empem Bears

Empem Bears

Where bears are create with love

Empem bears was created after many years as a collector of old bears and dolls. I then tried my hand at creating my own artiste bears... This was just a hobby until my life changed drastically following the tragic death of my daughter.... I needed something to put my energy into, to fill my days which became empty. This is where Empem Bears was created, where my love and passion goes into creating little personalities and features.. I don't claim to be perfect, but my bears are made wth love, they are all unique in their own way. Created using traditional methods, mainly using German Mohair, polyfil stuffing, sometimes I use glass or lead beads for weight. Always glass eyes,, embroidered noses and cotterpin joints which give them the traditional feel and look of an aged bear which is well loved. Sometimes I dress them , then they all sit patiently in the nursery awaiting a new mummy to love them as much as I loved creating them....
I hope to increase my range with gift cards, lavender sachets, cushions etc. A true teddy bear enthusiasts paradise.
