Founded in 2005 by Charlotte and William Morris in the UK, Charlie Bears have become beloved worldwide for their heartfelt craftsmanship and enchanting designs. Each bear is a unique creation, handmade with care using premium materials like mohair, alpaca, or plush fur. From hand-stitched noses to soulful glass eyes, no two bears are ever exactly alike — each one carries its own distinct personality. What sets Charlie Bears apart is their deep sense of storytelling and emotional connection, often enhanced through special artist collaborations and limited-edition releases. Collectors especially value this exclusivity; many bears are produced in small numbers, quickly becoming rare and highly sought-after, making them cherished investments as well as treasured keepsakes.
How to Start (or Expand) Your Collection
Tips: start with a theme (e.g. animals, seasons, or artist-designed bears), keep original tags, and where to safely display or store your bears.
