Ansel is a meticulously handcrafted little bear, standing just over 5 inches tall. Brought to life by more than 20 hours of hand-stitching by Alma, a skilled toy-maker whose beautiful creations can be found on Instagram under LoveSewn. Ansel is dressed in a tiny jacket paired with knitted pants, adding to his charming, rustic look.

Made from high-quality German cotton viscose, Ansel is filled with care using a vintage technique that gives him a nostalgic and timeless appeal. His limbs are firmly stuffed with cedar wood shavings and sawdust, giving him a solid yet comforting weight, while his torso remains softer for a gentle feel. Ansel’s construction allows him to turn his head and move his arms and legs, thanks to the use of durable discs and cotter pins that securely attach his limbs to his body.

Ansel’s carefully crafted face exudes a personality of its own, reflecting Alma’s dedication to bringing out the unique character of each of her creations. His expression carries a warmth and depth that invites connection, making Ansel not just a decorative piece but a little companion full of character.
