Hero story

Birth Bear: the moment you first held your baby, made to hold onto

The moment you first hold your newborn is over before you know it. Birth Bear makes it last. A teddy bear custom made to a baby's exact birth weight and length, so parents (and eventually their kids) can hold onto that moment, physically, for years.

The brief

Making a one of a kind keepsake possible at real scale

Together with Birth Bear, we turned a deeply personal idea into a product we could make at scale. Consistently. Without losing what makes each one unique. Here's what stayed consistent, bear to bear:

  • Precisely weighted to match real birth stats, every time.
  • Personalized further with an embroidered name and birth date, a choice of 7 thread colors, and a ribbon color
  • Delivered in a canvas bag, ready to gift
  • Designed to last for generations, not just a nursery season
What Production Heroes did

What Production Heroes manufactures, bear to bear:

Production Heroes manufactures each bear precisely matched to a newborn's real birth length, which the Birth Bear team then finishes by hand with the weight, embroidery, ribbon choice, and a final quality check.
