Baba Bears

West Malling, Kent

Hey there! Welcome to Baba Bears, where we're all about crafting adorable handmade crochet bears & bunnies with a whole lot of heart.

So, what's the deal? Well, first off, they're not just your average soft toys. Nope, each one is like a little bundle of memories waiting to happen. Whether they're snuggling up at bedtime or going on wild adventures with their new best buds, our bears & bunnies are there for it all.

At the heart of our work is a commitment to ethics. Partnering with the Mon Ami Foundation ensures that every bear & bunny we create is made with fairness in mind – from supporting the communities involved in their creation to upholding fair labour practices.

Now, let's dive into the fashion side of things! Our bears & bunnies are dressed to impress in some seriously stylish knitted clothing, all proudly made right here in the UK. But here's where it gets really fun – the clothing is customisable! Picture this: your bear or bunny sporting a cute outfit with your little one's name embroidered on it. How adorable is that?

The story behind the business

Meet Baba Bears

Hello! I'm Ashley, and I created Baba Bears whilst on maternity leave with my first baby back in 2022.

After working in fashion for a decade I was ready to take on a new, more meaningful, venture and whilst trying to figure out my next move, the universe brought everything together in a way I never expected. Shortly after finding out I was pregnant with my rainbow baby, things quickly changed around me as we were thrown into lockdown during the pandemic and I was on bed rest with a difficult pregnancy. To keep my mind busy, I taught myself to crochet and started making bits and bobs for baby. I then realised I couldn't find any personalised soft toys available (except machine-made or mass-made ones with no personality and questionable origins). This lit a fire for me to create something so special and authentically handmade from start to finish.

It's been a long journey of finding my feet as a business owner, but I couldn't be more proud of the ethically produced keepsakes I now have the honour of sending to their forever homes.

I hope you love them just as much as we love making them for you!
