Taunina's unique hand-embroidered teddy bears combine hand-crafted perfection with social upliftment. The bears are made by women from impoverished communities across Africa, and each item is designed and embellished by a single artist over five to seven days. Each bear carries the initials and the details of he artist who made him or her. This Cape Town company started in 2011 and today ships its bears across the globe, each with its own bespoke passport. Available from Apsley House at Hyde Park Corner, or online.
