Jellycat Little Bear

At 18 cm, Jellycat Little Bear is a beige bear built to be carried rather than shelved.

A closer look

What distinguishes Little Bear is the texture. It is the same everywhere you touch it, with no hard seams and no stiff patches, and the colourway of beige is matched across the ears and paws rather than left to chance at the cutting stage.

Measurements and fit

Little Bear stands 18 cm. We give the exact figure on every plush for one reason: it is the only number that tells you whether something will fit it. Our garment listings carry the same kind of figure, so the two can be read directly against each other without converting anything.

Part of the Little range

Within Jellycat’s catalogue Little Bear belongs to Little, and that is the useful thing to know when you are choosing a second one. A range shares its finish and its proportions, so pieces from the same family photograph well together and, more practically, often share a centimetre band, which means they can share a wardrobe.

Materials and care

Polyester fabric with polyester filling. Hand wash only. Do not tumble dry. That is the whole of it. It is worth following, because heat is what turns a soft plush into a stiff one, and no amount of brushing afterwards brings the pile back.

Who it is for

It sits on the everyday companion side of the shop and is most often bought for a birthday and no particular reason at all. The kind of thing that ends up staying, rather than being put away after a week.

Why we stock it

Our outfits are cut, sewn and finished by us, not bought in, and the plush we stock are chosen because our pieces fit them. Little Bear is one of those. If you are buying both at once, the centimetre band on this page is the number the garment listings are matched against.
