Hi all,
Bekkiebears is the label I created in 2013.
I've been busy designing and creating teddy bears and other creations for years now. I like to be creative and 'go with a flow'.
Bekkie is derived from my first name, Rebekka but also refers to their lovely smiles, in Dutch 'lachebekkies'.
My creations come in all shapes, sizes and colours, but one thing all 'Bekkiebears' have in common, is their smile.
All my creations have a Bekkiebears tag in their lower back.

All my bears are fully jointed, which means you can change the position of their arms, legs and head any way you want.
I use every kind of fabric there is. (which gets me into a little sewing trouble now and than :-)
Working mostly with vintage, antique and hand-dyed fabrics makes that you'll have a truly one-of-a-kind bear.

Al my bears have unique details, which come from all over the world.
I love looking for that one special touch which makes your bear extra special.
All eyes are hand-blown glass eyes.
Please note, although children love bears, my bears are NOT a toy! Children should only handle bears while an adult is present.
Because colours can vary a little, depending on which computer you have, please be aware that colours can be just a little bit different in real life.
Some of my bears were featured in the Summer edition of "Poppen & Teddy-Beer" 2014 as well as in the Autumn edition of 2015. As you can see, Richard was very proud to be a cover bear! (www.heins-hobbys.nl/)
I've appeared many a time in Teddy Bear Times. You can read my artist profile in the August/September issue 2016. In the last issue of 2016 you'll also find a pattern of one of my bears. If you haven't checked out this beautiful magazine, please do so today! www.teddybeartimes.com.
You can also read my artist profile (in German) in the number 3 issue 2016 of BärReport, in which you could win my bear Suzanne (sie front page S. 60). www.baerreport.de/

Many of you have now met my wonderful husband David, who was and is there for me helping me in every way possible.
Although my label is named after me, Bekkiebears would not exist without him! Thank you David! |
Most of my pictures were taken by my wonderful friend and photographer, Vinanda.
If my bears have souls, she knows how to capture them.
If you live in the Netherlands, and want your portrait taken, or are in any way looking for a photographer, I highly recommend her. Please visit her (Dutch) website: http://www.vinandafotografie.nl
