is teddylux handmade?
in today’s mass-market world, very few items are hand produced right here in America. teddylux bears, animals, and accessories are unique, handmade with love. Great care is taken in creating each and every cashmere
item.

what is cashmere?
cashmere is the world’s finest, softest knit. In the wintry, mountainous regions of China, Mongolia, Iran and Afghanistan, long-haired goats are the "natural producers" of this fine material. Under their thick, hairy fleece, a thin layer of down, 2 to 4 cm long, is sheared: this is cashmere. Each animal only produces a small amount of useable fiber to be spun into cashmere yarn. Making cashmere is a long and difficult process, but its purity and softness certainly make it worth the while.

how does teddylux recycle cashmere?
teddylux bears are crafted with previously manufactured cashmere knits, mainly sweaters, giving luxury materials a new life. The best vintage cashmere knits, 2 ply and up, are thoroughly reconditioned and cleaned for maximum softness. teddylux bears are irresistably soft to the touch.
