DEAN’s RAG BOOK Company 'Kookie' – Limited Edition, Mohair Teddy Bear from Artist Showcase range

Dean’s Rag Book Company “Kookie” – Limited Edition No. 8 of 50 Mohair Teddy Bear

A wonderfully distinctive and soulful character, “Kookie” is a limited-edition mohair teddy bear from the Dean’s Rag Book Company’s Artist Showcase range. This beautifully made collector bear is number 8 of a very limited edition of just 50, making him an appealing addition to any collection of artist bears or vintage and limited-edition British teddy bears.

Kookie is crafted from long, luxurious rust-coloured mohair with darker brown tipping, giving his coat wonderful depth and a rich, warm appearance. He has a characteristically small head in proportion to his body, low-set ears and soulful eyes, creating a particularly endearing expression. His large tummy is generously bean filled, giving him a lovely weight and feel in the hand.

He is fully jointed and features sculptured brown suedette paw pads, together with a carefully hand-stitched brown nose. A spotted ribbon bow is tied around his neck, accompanied by a distinctive black and gold Dean’s limited-edition metal pendant, adding an extra touch of collectable detail.

Kookie retains his official Dean’s stitched labels and swing tag, confirming his limited-edition status and number 8 of 50. These original labels and presentation details make him especially appealing to collectors.

Measuring approximately 30cm (12 inches) tall, Kookie is a wonderful example of the artistic character bears produced for collectors. His beautifully tipped long mohair, unusual proportions, soulful expression and extremely limited production run give him plenty of individual charm and make him a lovely centrepiece for a teddy bear collection.
