SnipPets by THE BEAR MILL
SnipPets by THE BEAR MILLThese unique characters have been designed solely by The Bear Mill Team. The back story of these unique colorful plush is based upon utilizing the leftover remnants of fabric from a textile mill’s production day.  In this story Mr. and Mrs. Threads, who were among the first plush that The Bear Mill produced, create Windle, the original SnipPet.  Windle then goes on to create the rest of the SnipPets family. SnipPets can be identified by their signature curly nose, unique smiles, and branded foot.  Storybooks of their magical adventures in The Bear Mill, which is located in rural England, will be launched soon. 8/8/2012 (Price: $19.99)
