It’s Beary Nice to Meet You!
Introducing a charming new giftware collection from a quintessentially British collaboration. Charlie Bears and the English Ladies Co have combined their expert skills to craft a premium quality range of ceramic figurines and tea sets.
Charlie Bears create beautiful, life-like bears using high quality fur, with hand-stitched detailing and jointed bodies. Since their beginning in 2006, Charlie Bears have been collected all over the world, creating a phenomenon with teddy bear collectors.
The English Ladies Co are renowned for their beautifully handmade ceramic figurines and teaware collections. Using the highest quality materials including fine bone china, gold and platinum, their product blends contemporary design with classic craftsmanship. Above all, the English Ladies Co ensures a timeless finish to each piece, creating heirloom gifts that will last forever.
The Charlie Bears Collection
Jasnor are pleased to announce that we will be the exclusive distributor for the Charlie Bears ceramic giftware collection, which includes 5 adorable figurine bears with 5 pieces of matching teaware. The first bears to be released are:
- Jake: The face of the Charlie Bears logo and part of the ‘famous’ first 12 bears
- Frost: Highly collectible wintery themed bear from the Hatty Series
- Widget: A favourite of the Panda animal range
- Charlie Year Bear 2009: The first Charlie Bear, named after the brand’s founder
- Charlie Year Bear 2024: The latest Charlie Bear in a bright lilac and pink fur coat
No bear is ever made in a second production, making each name unique and bespoke – apart from Charlie. The Charlie Year Bears started in 2009 and have repeated each year since. The English Ladies Co plan to create the oldest and latest Charlie Year Bear in each new collection until the years meet in the middle.
Just 600 pieces of each bear are produced for worldwide distribution. They are hand-painted and hand-numbered with a Certificate of Authentication signed by both founders of each company. Most uniquely, each bear is presented in an adorable cub-house gift box for an easy in-store/ at home presentation.
The English Ladies Co’s signature teaware also features in this collection, including a 6” plate, Victorian Style Cup & Saucer and Can-Shaped Cup & Saucer (perfect for coffee!). Decorated in Charlie Bears motifs and 22ct gold, the teaware is elegantly gift boxed in branded packaging. These items are perfect for the traditional teddy bear tea-time theme!
The 2024 Labyrinth Collection
Each Year Charlie Bears release a product catalogue, showcasing the latest character introductions. This year’s catalogue theme is the Labyrinth - the English Ladies Co have created an exclusive range of teaware representing this theme, with motifs and phrases, accented with real platinum detail. This collection makes for the perfect gifts whether your customers are Charlie Bears collectors or not.
The 2024 Charlie Year Bear is sat atop 2 books, one of which is the Labyrinth Catalogue.
