The Charlie Bears Collection
From cuddly classic teddy bears to exclusive collector's editions, Charlie Bears offers something special for everyone. Our NZ collection includes seasonal releases, anniversary editions, and the popular "Bears of the World" series - each with its own unique personality and story. Many bears feature luxurious mohair, hand-embroidered details, and special edition certificates.
Why Collectors Love Charlie Bears
People don’t just buy Charlie Bears. They fall in love with them. Every bear has its own vibe. Some are shy and gentle. Some are bold and cheeky. You’ll see it in their faces, their eyes, and the way they sit. These bears are soft, fluffy, and made to last. Kids carry them everywhere. Adults collect them. Families pass them down. They’re made with quality fabrics, jointed limbs (on most models), and extra stitching so they can handle lots of love.

Take Care of Your Bear
These bears are made to be hugged — and they’re built to last. But just like any treasured friend, a little care goes a long way. To keep your Charlie Bear looking and feeling their best, it’s important to handle them with love and gentleness.
Cleaning your bear is simple. There’s no need for harsh chemicals or a trip through the washing machine. Instead, just use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away any dust or small marks. This helps protect the delicate fabrics and stitching, especially around the face and paws. From time to time, you can give your bear a gentle brush with a soft-bristled brush to bring back that freshly-fluffed look.
Try to keep your bear out of direct sunlight for long periods, as bright light can cause fading over time. When your bear isn’t snuggled up on the couch or sitting pretty on a shelf, it’s best to store them in a cool, dry place where they can stay clean and cosy. With the right care, your Charlie Bear will stay soft, sweet, and full of charm for many years to come.
What’s the Difference Between the Bears?
If you’re new to Charlie Bears, you might notice there are a few different types and names in the collection. Here’s a closer look at the main styles you’ll find at OCARE NZ, so you can pick the perfect companion for you or someone you love.
Bearhouse CollectionThese bears and creatures are unjointed, which means their limbs don’t move — making them extra sturdy and safe for younger children. They’re designed to be soft, huggable, and ready for everyday play. Bearhouse friends also include some magical and whimsical creatures like dragons and fantasy animals, perfect for sparking young imaginations. They're great for kids, but just as charming for grown-up fans too.
Plumo CollectionPlumo bears are a unique mix of plush and mohair, blending the softness of synthetic fabric with the luxury feel of natural fibres. “Plumo” stands for “plush + mohair,” and you’ll usually find mohair accents on the face and ears for a beautifully textured finish. These bears are still super cuddly but feel just a little more refined.
Signature and Isabelle CollectionsThese are the stars of the Charlie Bears world. Crafted with premium materials like alpaca or high-quality mohair, these bears are true collector’s items. Most are released in limited quantities and come with special tags or certificates of authenticity. Bears from the Signature and Isabelle lines often feature intricate details, unique colour blends, and classic designs that make them stand out in any collection. They're perfect if you're looking for something rare, meaningful, or a future heirloom.
Each Charlie Bear in our store comes with helpful info like age suitability, size, and care instructions, so you always know exactly what you’re getting.
