My name is Kerren Morris and my company name is K.M.Bears. I was born in Headingley LEEDS and now live in Kirkstall LEEDS UK. I have always loved teddy bears from being a child and I still have my first Teddy bear. I have been designing adult collectors' bears since the beginning of 1997. Most of my bears are one of a kind and distinctive and I like all my bears to have their own "bearsonalities". I have also designed small limited edition bears of between two to six bears and two new open edition bears.

All my bears are completely my own design and are hand made by myself. All my bears are fully jointed; I use locking nut and bolts. They all have glass eyes and are polyester filled. I also use plastic pellets. All the bears are for collectors and state that they are not suitable for children under 14 on the labels.

My bears are of a "traditional style". I not only use traditional bear brown mohair, I also use a variety of hand dyed and pre dyed mohair to make a more colourful bear, with matching embroidered noses. My bears have travelled all round the world to USA, Italy, Japan, Canada, Belgium, and Switzerland, as well as here in the UK.
