The Magic of Charlie Bears: Why Collectors Love Them?

Charlie Bears collection brings artistry and imagination to their creations. With over 240 different bears and characters available, it's no wonder collectors are enchanted. Here are just a few reasons why:

Attention to Detail 

Each Charlie Bear is entirely handmade from design to completion. The creators carefully craft each component - from the bears' joints to their facial expressions. The hand-stitched features and tiny props infuse every bear with personality.

Premium Quality Materials 

Far from mass-produced stuffed animals, Charlie Bears uses high-end mohair, alpaca fleece, and other luxury fabrics. Collectors appreciate their fine quality and covet the limited-edition bears made from the finest materials.

Endearing Personalities 

With whimsical names like Lord Treacle berry, Princess Primrose, and Einstein, half the magic is getting to know each bear's unique persona. Every wrinkle, every grin gives them character that collectors fall in love with.

The Joy of the Hunt 

Charlie Bear collectors are thrilled to track down sold-out and retired bears. Hunting at specialist Hastings Old Town gift shop and teddy bear fairs satisfies their inner explorer. Collecting becomes even more rewarding and exciting.

How to Spot a Genuine Charlie Bear and Avoid Fakes?

With some Charlie Bears teddy bears changing hands for thousands of pounds, counterfeits are common. Here's how to ensure authenticity:

• Examine the materials - Real Charlie Bears only use high-quality mohair and alpaca fleece. Fakes tend to appear cheaply made.
• Check branding - Genuine bears feature discreet embroidered paw prints with "Charlie Bears" in the center. Fakes often use poor imitations.
• Assess weight and stuffing - The superior materials lend authentic bears a heavier, stuffed feel compared to knockoffs.
• Review dimensions - Standard Charlie Bears measure around 50cm (20 inches) tall when seated. Verify online before purchasing.
• Inspect joints - Genuine bears have neatly crafted joints with ring fasteners attaching limbs. Fakes tend to have loose, awkward joints.

Following these tips helps avoid spending a fortune on counterfeit bears. Deal only with reputable, authorized sellers like Goldenhands offering authentic Charlie Bears.

Caring for Your Charlie Bears: Cleaning and Storage Tips

To keep your Charlie Bear collection looking its huggable best, gently clean and carefully store them. Follow these collector-recommended care tips:

1. Cleaning Tips

• Spot clean only using a specialist teddy bear shampoo and soft bristle brush. Never fully submerge.
• Allow to fully air dry out of direct sunlight to avoid fading.
• For deeper cleaning, consult a professional teddy bear restoration service. Harsh DIY cleaning damages valuable bears.

2. Storage Tips

• Display in an enclosed, temperature-controlled cabinet away from heat, humidity, dust, and pets.
• Avoid placing straight on shelves. Use clear stackable storage containers to protect from dirt and damage.
• Never overcrowd. Bears kept touching long-term may experience "stress marks" damaging their fur.
• Store lying down rather than upright to ease pressure on limb joints and prevent stretching.
• Consider archival-quality stuffing for extra-special bears to prevent yellowing over decades.

By caring for your Charlie Bear treasures with such TLC, you ensure they remain pristine and pass the joy on to future generations!
