Meet the Stanley Bears®

Stanley Bears® are after the traditional German, similar in some respects to the bears created by Margaret Steiff in the early 1900’s.

I use only fine German mohair and alpaca as well as top quality acrylic. Stanley Bears® are made from my own exclusive patterns, all are fully jointed, and filled with new non-allergenic polyester fibre. I use only safety eyes.

Bears for Collectors

Every year since 1995 I have been making bears for serious collectors, including my Special Limited Editions. Released in April each year they are invariably sold out within eight weeks. Some of the earlier editions are eagerly sought after by collectors wishing to obtain the complete set.

Some of the recent subjects include Special Agent 0002, based on the James Bond character; Sir Henry, to commemorate the Centenary of Federation; Mary of the Outback, in honour of Australia’s pioneer women; Peter Lalor of Eureka; Hans Christian Andersen for the 200th Anniversary of his birth; Tom Roberts, the father of Australian landscape paintings; Miranda from Picnic at hanging Rock; and Young Stanley 1990-2008.

The Stanley Bear Club

Since I began making Special Edition Bears, many of my collectors have added their names to the Special Edition Register. This ensures that they are given preference when a new bear is about to be released. On placing their order they nominate when they would like to take delivery. This can be any time between the release date and the end of the year. I also have lay-by facilities. You can join the Stanley Bear Club by completing the online form at left.
