Leola Bear with Personalised Navy Jumper

Looking for Leola Bear? You’ll likely find her in her South London studio – surrounded by paintings, sculptures and fashion designs. When she’s not there, she’s off travelling, gathering inspiration and searching for the perfect shade of plum. A talented, distracted artist, Leola tends to lose herself in the process. When inspiration strikes, hours melt away as she sketches, stitches and experiments – often with her favourite muse close by. Cousin Bartholomew Bear has worn every one of her creations, from the ruby fluff of his Heartthrob stage outfit to the bold, confidence-boosting Sun costume. Fortunately, he’s also on hand with tea top-ups and the occasional, slightly squashed, plate of biscuits. He knows the drill. One day, Leola’s talent will surely be recognised far and wide. For now, she’s content creating magical things for friends and family – including her own navy jumper, which can be personalised with a name or note, stitched in as thoughtfully as every other detail she dreams up.
