In September 2009 Lynette Kennedy opened a teddy bear shop at Lifestyle Garden Home, Johannesburg, South Africa. Today this is the only Teddy Bear shop in South Africa. We are the South African stockist for the well known and loved Charlie Bears, Merrythought, Steiff, Mary Meyer ,Beatrix Potter, JellyCat and Peluche.
Lynette in the 30 years of being involved with teddy bears has, exhibited, taught, and judged at many International exhibitions. The wealth of information she gathers at these events are reflected in the shop.
For customers wanting to make their own teddy bears, the shop keeps a wide range of mohair, and other fabrics, plus all the supplies to complete a teddy bear. Irene is competent in helping you with your teddy bear making questions.
Those customers who are unable to visit the shop, we have the convince of online shopping.
