BearsInChairs - Bears In Chairs
Bears in Chairs started out selling Bears Etc. in 1998 at a small kiosk
in Garden State Plaza, Paramus, New Jersey, together with Vermont Teddy
Bears, Gund, Boyds Bears, Russ Bears and Bearington. However, little by
little, the handmade ceramic bears from Bears, Etc. captured the hearts
of our clientele. Their bearish charm coupled with a personalized chair
and miniature accessories made them into our bestselling products. We
couldn't fill the orders fast enough!
To
keep up with the overwhelming demand for our beary friends, we had no
choice but to open more stores! We ventured out to malls in New York,
Connecticut, and South Jersey, followed by the joy and smiles that our
bears brought. We even received orders from travelers from other states
and as far away as Canada, Australia and Europe. Customers just keep
coming back even after moving away! It is beary often that grandmothers
bring their existing Bears in Chairs to our stores and ask us to add
new baby bears with their grandchildren's names personalized. Now Bears
in Chairs are becoming a lot of family's heirlooms. In 1999, we started
offering our products on the web making those creative bears more
accessible to the whole world.
Due to the tremendous response,
in early 2002, we acquired Bears Etc. the business, copyrights and
know-how. We have more than 100 distributors, including more than a
dozen Bears in ChairsTM outlets in New York Metro and
Florida. We opened our own workshop creating those solid bears. Sheila
Philipp, the artist who created the concept worked with us closely to
keep the integrity of their creations to their high standards. Now we
make and distribute our own bears eliminating all middlemen and passing
the savings to our customers.
