In 2021, a small studio in Taipei started knitting bears from chenille yarn. The idea was simple: give someone a quiet companion for the long dark hours of the night.
Our founder Jay picked up a crochet hook and a skein of deep-blue chenille on a sleepless night in 2021. He wasn't thinking about starting a business — he just wanted something to get through the night. Three hours later, the first Healing Bear was done. That bear is still on his desk.
"I just wanted something that didn't talk — but was always there."
Every skein is hand-sorted before entering the studio. Density and colour must match. One bad skein — the whole batch goes.
Starting with the two ears, the head is shaped stitch by stitch. The most laborious part.
Head, body, and limbs knitted separately, then stuffed, sewn together, and faced.
Every bear passes a quality check before it's boxed. A handwritten note is always included.
12 per colourway, maximum. Not a marketing trick — a consequence of doing it by hand.
Durable, machine-washable. Not fast fashion — a slow, quiet friend for the long haul.
Embroider a name, and this bear belongs to one person only. Machines can't do that.
