Teddy Bear For You

EGLĖS MEŠKOS - unique handmade teddy bears.

"Inside I am 50% child and 50% old soul. I believe that human hands can work miracles.

When I work, I remember my grandfather making paper horses for me. Just like that, by hand, without sketches. Each one was unique, beautiful, important. Now I do the same with my teddy bears. Just like that, by hand, no sketches, no puppets. I enjoy the process and I never know what the result will look like. Each one is different, beautiful, important, with character.

Each material dictates the shape. I use cotton, wool, cashmere, mohair, jeans, leather. The form is very simple, minimal. Each bear is respectfully made from a former coat, skirt, sweater, scarf or leftover material. They all have unique names, dates of birth, passports.

Each teddy bear can be a great friend, a beautiful gift, a memento or just an interesting interior detail.

My world is a teddy bear world."
