Teddy House releases its temple boy collection inspired by V Vajiramedhi

The Teddy House recently celebrated its fourteenth anniversary by introducing two new families of furry friends: the Aram Bear charity edition and the Mohair Bear Limited Edition Dreamy Princess collection. Pitubhum Hiranyapit, managing director of Teddy House, says the Aram Bear character was inspired by noted preacher V Vajiramedhi who, during a visit to the company, once commented that he’d never seen a bear in temple boy attire. 

 
The charity limited edition of 555 Aram Bears, features a temple boy look with two styles: dressed in a T-shirt or a vest holding a yellow and blue shoulder bag, and wearing sandals. The print motif written by the preacher reads: “The more you give, the more you get. The more you take, the more you lose.” Each Aram Bear costs Bt555 and the money will be donated to Vimuttayalaya Institute, which promote studies, research and the development of Buddhism studies.
The highlight of the Dreamy Princess collection was the one of the kind “Alyssa Bear” decorated with 555 Swarovski crystals and costing Bt55,500. Kularb Sawasyanon, a major fan and collector of the Mohair Bear was quickly to snap up the teddy.
