Hoagie Bear is a one of a kind artist bear made from vintage mohair, with a melancholy charm.

Hoagie Bear stands 14.5 inches (37cm) tall and is 11 inches (28cm) sitting. He prefers to sit, to sit and muse, he looks sad but he could just be dreaming. Hoagie Bear costs £195GBP plus £8.00 postage within the UK and £10.00 GBP postage and insurance to everywhere else.

Hoagie is made from two pieces of vintage, German mohair, one piece is a soft, caramel brown with several bald patches, while the other is a worn piece of olive green with hints of a flowing floral design on it. Both pieces of mohair are between 80 and 150 years old. He has mushroom coloured, German, wool-felt paw pads and he is stuffed with a mixture of polyester stuffing and plastic pellets, which make him very poseable, he looks good however you plonk him down. Hoagie has beautiful, hand painted eyes with hand coloured eyelids, they lend him a very sorrowful expression, he is completed with a neat, black, hand embroidered nose and mouth, which also conveys his sadness. 

Hoagie Bear is at one with his glumness, he doesn't need cheering up, taking to parties, being shown hysterically funny films, he's happy being a bit sad, of course he enjoys a cuddle every now and then, but he's happiest making rather pessimistic comments 'Looks like rain again' 'That's never going to work' 'Are you really going to eat that?' and 'Those feathers really don't go with that snakeskin top' 

As with all our bears we will enclose some photos with Hoagie Bear and a greetings card, if you would like a particular card for a special occasion and some gift tags just let us know and we will be very happy to send them.
