The maker
Tia turns treasured fabrics into a beautiful keepsake bear you’ll cherish forever.

Miss Tia began her lifelong career in the rag trade from the age of 15. From swimwear to bridal, military to theatre costumes, even as a milliner and cobbler!
37 years later… as a breast cancer survivor and mental health advocate, coming together with whānau to create something truly meaningful with pure intention is amazing.
That is our gift to you.
