- Prix
- $84
Meet the teddy bear your little one will hold onto for years. Handcrafted in the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina from dead-stock faux fur, each bear is completely one-of-a-kind — soft, sustainable, and made with real intention. Whether it's a companion for everyday play or the perfect finishing touch to a bear costume, this is a keepsake worth giving.
✨ Features
- 🧸 Handmade in the USA: Each bear is individually hand-sewn in the mountains of North Carolina, so no two are exactly alike.
- ♻️ Dead-stock faux fur: Made from repurposed faux fur that would otherwise go to waste — a genuinely eco-conscious choice.
- 🌿 Sustainable materials: Thoughtfully sourced fabric that keeps unnecessary waste out of landfill.
- 🎨 One-of-a-kind: Because each bear is cut and sewn by hand, yours will have its own personality and character.
- 🏔️ Crafted with tradition: Made by Diana, a skilled seamstress from North Carolina who learned her craft from her mother and grandmother.
💛 Benefits
- 🎁 A gift that means something: Unlike mass-produced toys, this bear comes with a real story behind it — making it a truly thoughtful gift for birthdays, baby showers, or the holidays.
- 🧒 A companion for little ones: Soft enough for small hands and light enough for little arms, it's the kind of toy kids actually carry everywhere.
- 🌍 A sustainable choice you can feel good about: Buying this bear supports slow, intentional making and keeps dead-stock fabric in use rather than in a bin.
- 👵 Supports independent makers: Your purchase directly supports Diana, a retired artisan keeping traditional sewing techniques alive.
- 🐻 Perfect costume companion: Pairs beautifully with a bear Halloween costume or dress-up outfit for a coordinated, charming look.
🏔️ About the Maker
Diana grew up in the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina, where her mother and grandmother taught her to sew and craft using traditional techniques. Over the years she worked as a seamstress while raising a family, and now in retirement she channels all of that experience into creating handmade pieces full of warmth and character. Every item she makes reflects her love for the craft — and this bear is no exception.

About Band of the Wild
🌎 Eco-Friendly Values — Why Band of the Wild Meets Clozist Standards
Sustainability isn’t a trend at Band of the Wild — it’s the heart of every adventure we create.
💚 Ethically Made in California
All pieces are crafted locally in small batches, ensuring fair labor practices and reducing carbon emissions from overseas transport.
♻️ Deadstock Fabrics, Reimagined
At least 30% of each costume is made from deadstock fabric — high-quality surplus materials that would otherwise go to waste. By reviving these unused textiles, we help reduce landfill waste and promote a circular fashion model.
💧 Low-Water, Non-Toxic Printing
Our designs use a modern printing process that consumes far less water than conventional dyeing methods — one of the most eco-friendly textile printing options available today.
🌱 Planet-Friendly Packaging
From compostable or recycled mailers to biodegradable labels and hang tags made from recycled paper, every packaging detail reflects our commitment to minimizing waste.
Band of the Wild embodies the Clozist vision: responsibly made, imaginative, and deeply connected to nature. Each piece lets children (and parents!) explore freely — while treading gently on the planet they’ll grow up to protect.
