Bear Terms Glossary
If you're new to the world of bear collecting you might be overwhelmed by all the new terms and phrases so we're here to help!
-
Pre-Order
Charlie Bears arrive throughout the year so by pre-ordering you'll secure the bear ahead of their arrival, guaranteeing you get them!
-
Retired
Once a bear has sold out, we often can't get any more so they become retired, as they're no longer in production or available to re-order.
-
Pre-Loved
These bears have had homes before, making them second-hand. Our Pre-Loved bears are older and retired meaning you can only secure them on the secondary market.
-
Hug
Your Hug is your collection of bears. Whether you only have one bear, or hundreds, every Hug counts!
-
In the fur
All bears come with a stock image but this is often of a prototype so the 'real' thing can vary. We take our own in the fur photos so you can see what they really look like!
-
Layaway
If you can't afford a bear you've fallen for, we can reserve them for you, for up to 3 months, for a 25% deposit. Click here to see our terms and more info.
-
Numbered Limited Edition
These bears will come with a certificate detailing the edition limit of this design and the exact number this bear is, e.g. No. 99 of 200 - they are highly collectable!
-
Limited in Production
These bears will come with a certificate detailing the edition limit of this design, however they are not individually numbered.

Launch
The event of the year!
