Handmade in Norton & Sons Savile Row workroom, only the best cloth is used:
Melton cloth from Hainsworth in Yorkshire for the plain black wool bandana and one paw. Wool & cashmere tartan woven by locharron in Selkirk for the body. This dashing black and red tartan was originally made for the AW2009 collection of Grant's menswear label E. Tautz.
Grant's Pudsey has the endearing floppy look which comes from loosely stuffing Pudsey with discarded wool, cotton, linen and silk scraps from the tailors board in the Savile Row workroom.
Visit the collection on the 2nd floor of Liberty in
London until 19 Nov, or just view online: www.bbc.co.uk/pudsey.
All
the bears in the collection are being auctioned on eBay to help raise money for
disadvantaged children in the UK. If you want to bid for Grant's Designer
Pudsey go to:
