You will not find fake fur covering the Giving Bear, but this doesn't make the little guy any less endearing. Even if you're not enchanted by his eco-friendly constitution, his completed self is cute as a button.
Made by Bambu, this plush toy contains unbleached cotton that's been grown right next to the place where it's sewn together. These huggable spongy insides are then covered in two identical pieces of bear-shaped fabric that's actually made from cork. The lovely light brown has a great texture that exudes an organic earthiness that's representative of the sustainable manufacturing, as well as the scruffy animal subject.
The Giving Bear is finished off with a simple but adorable embroidered face, and a little tag tucked into the seam of its lovely round contours. The teddy bear is a charming gift for any age.
