Jellycat Leola Bear Large

Looking for Leola Bear? You’ll likely find her in her South London studio – surrounded by painting, sculptures and fashion designs. When she’s not there, she’s of travelling; looking for inspiration – and the perfect shade of plum.

A talented, distracted artist (with a habit of reheating the same mug of tea three times), Leola always gets lost in the process. She can’t help it – when inspiration strikes, the hours just melt away… Fortunately, her cousin Bartholomew Bear is always on-hand with a tea top-up and (slightly squashed) plate of biscuits. He knows the drill!

He also happens to be her favourite muse. She’s made every one of his costumes, from the ruby fluff of his Heartthrob stage outfit to the Bat Bear cape that he wore for a Halloween party. Even his bold Sun costume was a Leola original, designed to give him confidence for an upcoming carnival debut.

One day her talent will be recognised. For now though, Leola’s happy making magical things for her friends and family.

About Jellycat

Creating original and innovative soft toys in London since 1999, Jellycat continues to combine luxurious fabrics with designs that are sometimes quirky, sometime cute but always with a little something different that makes them stand out from the crowd! The name Jellycat was dreamt up by a child who loved jellies and cats and giggled at the thought of the two together. The silliness of the name was a great reflection of the design and so it stuck!
