Changing lives one stitch at a time

Taunina Telegraph

Teddy bears visit New York City

We are very excited to announce that Taunina’s first collection – its signature teddy bears – will arrive in New York City very soon. They are currently crossing the oceans, safely tucked away in their beautiful custom-made hatboxes, each with its personalised passport and its artist’s wish for the world, ready to grace homes, win hearts, and start changing the lives of our artists and their families forever. Just think – soon names such as Juliet Mutasa and Rudo Zenda could be on everyone’s lips. Recognition, we feel, that is well deserved and long overdue!

While we are working away in our studio in Cape Town, we love to daydream about where our bears will be travelling to, who they will meet first, and where they will be living. Will one one be the treasured keepsake of a young girl or a 40th birthday gift from close girlfriends? Will they steal the hearts of newlyweds or commemorate the birth of a new baby?

And where will they spend their days? Will they claim the main bedroom as their own, sit on a prized antique chair in an entrance hall or brighten up a bookshelf? Will they be with a young family in Manhattan? Or an avid teddy bear collector in Brooklyn?

Our artists, especially, are so excited about their first works of art travelling north to open the world’s eyes to our exquisite one-of-a-kind handmade collectable soft toys. None of them have been abroad yet, so they are eager to hear about the far-off places that the teddy bears will travel to (London in early 2012).

But dreams and homes aside, we really can’t wait to hear your thoughts on the bears we love so much – please join us on Facebook or follow us on Twitter for the latest happenings at Taunina.
