Heirloom Companion Pair | Bear & Bunny
Description
Bear & Bunny
Two quiet friends, made to be chosen together.
The Heirloom Companion Pair brings together my hand-crocheted Heirloom Bear and Heirloom Bunny, designed as gentle companions to grow old side by side. Made slowly, one stitch at a time, this pair is meant to become part of a family’s story, passed down through years of play, comfort, and memory.
Both pieces are crocheted by hand in a soft alpaca-wool blend chosen for its subtle fuzz and vintage charm. Their proportions are calm and timeless: long relaxed limbs, softly weighted feet, and quiet expressions that invite imagination rather than dictate it.
The bear feels grounded and steady; the bunny light and tender. Together, they form a natural pairing, warmth and softness, neither complete without the other.
Every detail is embroidered by hand using cotton thread. There are no plastic elements, no safety eyes, and no small parts, only thoughtful craftsmanship and natural materials, suitable for all ages.
Each companion pair is made to order, ensuring every set carries its own subtle character and heirloom presence.
Signature colourways
-
Bear: Warm Brown Body with Cream Muzzle
-
Bunny: Soft Cream Body with matching ears
These classic palettes were chosen for their nostalgic, storybook feel and their gentle presence in children’s spaces.
Custom colours are available upon request. If selected, I will contact you after purchase so we can choose the yarn together. Limited seasonal or special colourways may be released separately.

Design
I only create designs I truly love: pieces I’ve made for myself, worn, and lived with. Some are my own, and others come are patterns from designers I admire; when that’s the case, their name is noted at the end of the product description.
Everything is handmade by myself.
