Children in Need Designer Pudsey Collection - the Liberty Bear

BBC Children in Need have launched the 'Designer Pudsey Collection' with Pudsey Bear dressed in couture outfits designed especially for him.

These couture bears are being auctioned on eBay and will help raise money for disadvantaged children in the UK.

If you want to see the couture designs up close and personal, you can see most of the bears on the  2^nd floor of Liberty in London until 19 Nov.

One of the Designer Pudsey bears has been created by Liberty and of course is made up of a patchwork of Liberty prints.

He’s carrying a cute little Liberty’s purple shopping bag full of Liberty prints proving a bear can never have enough clothes.

On his bottom he has the purple Liberty label - maybe for extra padding?

All the prints are floral except for the orange bandana over his right eye, which has a mix of cartoon images.

If you can’t visit Liberty to see these couture bears then go online to view:  www.bbc.co.uk/pudsey.
