About Us
Jackie Teddy Bear started in 1994 by a teddy bear lover & collector, Mrs Jackie Koh. As a young girl, she grows up with teddy bears and sleep with them every night. Her love for bears is so great that she decided to start a small shop to share her interest & passion with other collectors. She never sleeps without talking to them every night. Until this day, she has many bears on her bed.
Why are we different from the other bear shops in Singapore?
We are the only and first shop in Singapore to specialise in retailing Award-Winning Artist Bears. We only sell bears that are of high quality, unique, original and distinctive with award-winning standards.
Where are the artist bears from?
The artist bears in Jackie Teddy Bear are lovingly designed and handmade by Award-Winning Bear Artists & Professional Bear Artists from UK & Europe. These bears are not meant to be toys for children but are collector's item that comes in limited pieces and every bear has its own limited edition number. Some of them are made in one of a kind designs or special edition of one only.
What is so special about the artist bears?
The artist bears in Jackie Teddy Bear are "born" with names at birth. Every bear has a unique personality. No two bears will exactly look alike. They are either dressed in little sweaters & dresses or naked to show off their beautiful furs. Some of them are paired with their own companions or family while some are given toys to keep them busy. They come in various sizes & height and prices starts at $300 and above. All bears are fully jointed, with movable parts and are made from mohair, which is the hair of the angora goat from UK & Germany. These natural fibres are very expensive due to high cost in labour.
What is the material use to make the artist bears?
The artist bear's exterior are make from mohair, which is the hair of the angora goat from UK & Germany. These natural fibres are very expensive due to high cost in labour.The mohair comes in different texture. Some are short, long, sparse or thick. While others are straight, curly, distressed or rich.
We are also the only shops in Singapore who have some bears being made of unusual materials like distressed or velvety cotton and cheneille which is difficult to find in the market. Our bears have a very wide range of colour tone from pale, pastel, warm, traditional to rich, dark, strong or trendy. You will see bears that comes in colours like ivory white, warm beige, honey brown, lemon yellow, mustard, sweet peach, marigold orange, antique red, burgundy red, lavender, cool baby blue, electric blue, peppermint green, ice green and charcoal black.
Another special area to lookout for is the different type of good quality eyes that the bears are 'born' with. Some of them have small or large pure glass eyes while some antique boot button eyes that are really worn out and hard to find. We also have some bears that come with crystal eyes that are hard to come by.
The designs and concept of our bears have always been very unique and outstanding among other bear shops in Singapore.
We have always been the first to introduce new and different style of bears besides the traditional look.
