Our Story

B's and Bears logo. A bear looking to the sky with bees around him.

B's and Bears, a family craft collective made up of 2 Brygan's and a family of Bears. Together we enjoy creating bespoke products in our workshops based in Swindon. Our mission is to provide unique, lifetime products to individuals who appreciate quality craftsmanship.

​

Introducing The Team:

Sarah Bear: With a love of designing and building things Sarah can't help but be creative. Experienced in leather craft as well as, silversmithing, papercraft, mixed media and Indian block printing, there's not much she won't turn her hand to. Inspired by Peter, they built a workshop at the bottom of her garden and Sarah soon got to work filling it with hides, buckles and tools. So it was only right that she shares her beautiful creations with you.... and help fund her habit of buying leather hides and shiny findings.

 

Jenny Brygan: With a knowledge in all things fabric, Jenny is a whiz with anything stitched. Her voice of reason and organisation skills are depended upon by the team. There to fathom out how a product will work, or create a bespoke lining, we wouldn't get far without Jenny.

​

Peter Brygan: After building his own workshop, Peter has embarked on honing his wood work skills. From cabinetry to sculpting in wood, Peter is always covered in sawdust and shavings! Always learning, Peter is ready for your bespoke commissions.

​

John Taylor-Bear: The newest addition to the family, John is always there to help set up events, keep the tea and coffee flowing, and help out in modelling our products.
