H DAAB DESIGN BEARS

by Hannelore Daab, Germany

Hannelore has won many awards for her work including the Golden George in 2000, 2003 and 2004 and The Toby Industry's Choice Award in 2002, 2003 & 2004 with many nominations and placements 2005, 2006 and 2007. 

I can only tell you how exquisite these bears are in the fur - I realise that looking at photographs is never the same as being able to hold the bear but they are just lovely to handle.  Hannelore's high standard of workmanship and skills have combined to infuse these bears with qualities normally associated with vintage bears and they are well worth a careful look.  Hannelore only makes about 5 bears a month and spends at least 2-3 days working on each classic style bear to ensure that they are perfect. 

In the case of her realistic bears for which she has received many award nominations as well as first and second places, she invests much more time in each piece - sometimes up to 2 weeks to perfect the finish.  Her tableaux of female polar bear and cub was awarded first place in the Golden Teddy Awards 2007.

Continuing with the theme of using vintage fabrics, Hannelore has created another exclusive collection of aged bears for Abracadabra using mohair from the early 1900's.  All of the newly arrived smaller bears are named after semi precious stones as most of the colours glow just like the jewels the bears were named for.
