Why

“Blue Bear & Co.” has been created in memory of my son Charlie. I looked long and hard to find a teddy special enough to hold a voice recording of Charlie, a heart beat and a scent. This was not easy to find and the ones I did find, did not have all these functions or did not feel precious enough. 

So, I set about trying to make my own, having never sewn before, I watched Youtube clips and was happy with the outcome for a first attempt! I filled it with Charlie’s voice, a heart beat and a mini plush which I infused with a scent that Charlie loved.

The sense of fulfilment was instant, it massively comforted me and not only did I have an instant connection with it, but Charlie’s siblings did too.

Following this I decided I wanted to create something that other people could also enjoy, a unique, luxury bear, which can be customised in the comfort of your own home, beautifully presented and lovingly made. 

I came up with the name “Blue Bear & Co.” and the slogan “Bears for Life”, aptly named after my son’s beloved “Blue Bear” which accompanied him everywhere and is still very much a part of our family. 

“Brown Bear”, “Dark Blue Bear” and “Light Blue Bear” soon evolved!
