Company Profile Clemens - German Mohair Bears


In 1948, Hans Clemens and his sister started making bears by hand out of the old blankets left behind by the German armed forces.

Soon after he opened a toy shop in Mannheim but was asked so many times for his wonderful bears that he started his own bear factory.

As the German economy started to flourish, demand increased dramatically and this has continued for over 60 years. Indeed for collectors we have a nostalgic 60th Anniversary Bear!

Today Clemens is run by Hans' son, Peter, and his wife but the unmistakable style and quality of the bears has not changed over all these years.

The company motto is "for our children only the best is good enough" and all Clemens employees take a special pride in making the most beautiful teddies and plush animals.

The famous red Clemens label is a symbol which guarantees quality, unique designs, skilled craftmanship and the very best and safest materials.

Clemens have received many international awards for their ranges and now have several bear artists working exclusively for them. They include:-

Ren Bears
Martina Lehr
Jack & Marion Finhold
Simone Wilhelm
Eleonore Unkel-Schaufelin
Margarete Nedballa
Isabella Hoffmann
Nadja Bears
Ko Kyung Won
Gelibaren

All Clemens limited edition bears come with their own personalised certificate and are highly prized by collectors around the world.

The Nostalgic Collection

Clemens make traditional bears in assorted sizes from 10cm to 60cm, each made of the finest mohair. For collectors, we have a special 50th Anniversary Clemens Bear limited to only 499 pieces worldwide.
 Ren Bears

In small limitations, Ren Bears have a unique style of their own and are affordable and collectable. The choices of mohair are wonderful and the collection has many undressed bears as well as a clown, golfer, chimney sweep, chef and sailor.

 Jack & Marion Finhold

For over 10 years, Jack and Marion Finhold have been designing the most unusual bears. Their classic features are big feet and paws and the range includes a stork carrying a baby, a mouse called Pedro and Teddy Flynn all dressed up with scarf and socks for another cold winter's day!
       
       
Martina Lehr

Martina Lehr has won several awards for her stylish bears which are beautifully recreated by Clemens. The collection includes a rabbit called Frederick eating a juicy carrot, two marionette bears on their own musicbox, a series of lying bears and two musical and mechanical bears, Betthumpfer and Xaferl, whose heads rotate as a soothing melody is played.		 Other Artists

In very small limitations which are highly collectable, several other world famous artists have their bears made exclusively by Clemens. The limitations are strictly controlled by the factory so collectors can be assured of the integrity of the bear and that it will be a highly prized addition to any collection.
