The bears and friends families come back for, again and again.
Make it theirs
Choose the bear, the colours and the finishing touches, and we’ll make it by hand just for them. A gift for a new baby, a birthday or a milestone that they’ll keep for life.
Our story
In 1992, with the district in drought and wool prices crashing, the small town of Tambo came together to find a new way to support local graziers. Three local women took up the idea of making teddy bears from Australian sheepskin, and the first Tambo Teddies went on sale in February 1993.
Every bear is still cut and sewn by hand and named after a property in the Tambo district. More than 85,000 later, each one has its own number and personality.
Reviews
“Great experience. I rang to get a better understanding of the teddy range and age suitability, ordered for my grandson and received it within 5 days. We loved our teddy immediately.”
“Visited Tambo and of course came home with a Mr Stockman, and he’s absolutely adorable. Beautiful quality and full of character: a gorgeous piece of the outback to take home.”
“I have purchased three Tambo Teddies for my grandchildren. They are the best, highest-quality bears I could buy, and my grandchildren love that each one is individual.”
