FOR THE PURPOSE OF MOST OF MY LISTINGS (UNLESS OTHERWISE STATED AS GABRIELLE ORIGINAL – LIKE MY BEARS FOR INSTANCE), WHEN I SAY REPLICA OR REPLACEMENT IT MEANS THE ITEM OF CLOTHING OR ACCESSORY IS HANDCRAFTED BY MYSELF TO IMITATE THE ORIGINALS, HOWEVER THEY ARE REPRODUCED WITH SO MUCH ATTENTION TO DETAIL THAT THEY APPEAR JUST LIKE YOU'D EXPECT OF AN ORIGINAL FROM THE DAYS OF GABRIELLE DESIGNS MANUFACTURE!

IN MAKING THIS ITEM I HAVE TRIED TO CHOOSE THE MOST SUITABLE OF MATERIALS
SO IT THE LOOK IS SYMPATHETIC TO THE ORIGINAL VERSIONS

THEY ARE ONLY LIKENESSES & NOT SOMETHING I AM PASSING OFF AS ORIGINAL, AND TRUE COLLECTORS WILL TELL THE DIFFERENCE

IF YOU ARE UNSURE OF ANY OF MY LISTING PLEASE EMAIL ME BEFORE BIDDING, I AM ONLY TOO GRATEFUL TO CLARIFY ANY POINTS NECESSARY

GABRIELLE PRODUCED HER BEARS & CLOTHES IN MASS QUANTITIES IN A FACTORY - I DON'T HAVE SUCH LUXURIES!

I SOURCE THE BEST MATERIAL I CAN, WHEN I CAN, I DON'T HAVE A LOT OF SPACE TO STORE MASS QUANTITIES, WHICH LIMITS THE NUMBER I CAN MAKE OF ANY ONE GIVEN MATERIAL

THIS MAKES EACH PIECE EVEN MORE SPECIAL & I SUPPOSE YOU COULD CALL 'LIMITED EDITION' - YOU AND YOUR BEAR CAN BE PROUD THAT VERY FEW OTHERS WILL HAVE AN ITEM EXACTLY LIKE THIS AS EACH ONE DIFFERS FROM THE NEXT

YOUR PADDINGTON CAN STAND PROUDLY IN THE KNOWLEDGE THAT NO OTHER BEAR WILL LOOK THE SAME AS HIM
WHAT A PRIVILEDGE - A UNIQUE TAILOR MADE OUTFIT

I TRY TO PRICE MY ITEMS SENSIBLY - I NEED TO COVER MY COSTS TO BE ABLE TO KEEP 'MY HOBBY' GOING
MATERIAL COSTS ETC (EBAY & PAYPAL FEES ALL HAVE TO BE CONSIDERED TOO!)

PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CONTACT ME WITH ANY FURTHER QUERIES

WHY NOT CHECK OUT MY OTHER PADDINGTON AND AUNT LUCY ITEMS?
