DetailsWelcome to Femme Within. A gentle reminder: all listings include free UK postage.🐰
Gloria: A Bear of Remembrance & Mystery. This 10-inch golden plush bear is more than just a toy; she is a poignant "time capsule" from 1970. She wears a handmade pink fabric tag around her neck, carefully inscribed with the name "Gloria" and the date "Wed 15th July 1970".
The Hidden Heart: 💗
Gloria holds a secret close to her heart. Stitched securely inside her chest is a firm rectangular object—likely a card or a folded letter. This hidden message has remained undisturbed for over half a century.
A Piece of Social History:
The date may mark a joyous arrival, or it may be a beautiful tribute kept in memory of a loved one. This depth of sentiment makes Gloria a truly unique find for a collector who appreciates the soul and story behind vintage items.
Details & Condition:
Size: 10 inches tall.
Features: Jointed arms and legs; fixed head; classic glass amber eyes.
Condition: Authentically "well-loved" and grubby, showing her age and the passage of time. She is structurally sound and has been kept in her original state to preserve the mystery of the internal note.
All the bears listed on this site are not suitable for young children since I do not know their entire past due to being rescue bears. Femme Within creatures are for adults only, unless stated otherwise.
