TG Bears makes all the bears you see on the website in-house. They are made by the same person from start to finish, there is no modular sewing operation. So each bear is made with love, fashioned with affection and hugged when completed. Our bears have safety eyes, noses and joints and are washable, making them safe for children in their "bare" state. All accessories should be removed before giving them to children. Bears can have an optional growl placed in them (they are not washable when they can growl).
