Elegant Bears Made From Fine Recycled Fur.
Mrs. Mackert is part of three generations of bear makers. Her mother and grandmother made bears through the 1920’s. Inspired by a 1912 Steiff bear given to her as a child, Karrol decided to continued on with her family’s tradition of bear making. In the summer of 1992 after her sons in Florida witnessed the dumping of a tractor tailer load of fur coats into the local recyclers, Mrs. Mackert changed mediums and experimented with mink and arctic seal.

Response to the bears was tremendous and ignited Quite A Bear Company in the Fall of 1992. Mrs. Mackert, her son and daughter in-law licensed the company in Atlanta. They became the buyers of fur and gained knowledge of fur handling. Trained by local and retired furriers, they proceeded to make bears according the highest standards.
