A hug of seven Crew members with Debora

Welcome to New Avenue Crew

Hello, I'm so glad you've stopped in to visit!

 

I'm Debora Hoffmann, the creator of New Avenue Crew artist teddy bears. Each bear is designed and handmade entirely by me. I enjoy turning a flat piece of beautiful mohair or alpaca fabric into a little someone you can hold and cherish for years to come.

 

Why have I made collectible teddy bears since 1996?

​

For the love of the fur. For the love of the faces. For the love of the teddy bear. 

The Art of the Bear

New Avenue Crew is a collection of artist bearworks designed and handcrafted by Debora Hoffmann. Debora delights in turning a flat piece of mohair or alpaca fabric into a little someone you can hold.

​

For the love of the fur.

For the love of the faces.

For the love of the teddy bear.
