13" Koko Brown Bear By Kathy Myers Handmade 1998 Plush Real Fur Cashmere Pads

Description

Beautiful Kathy Myers "KOKO" brown bear, #1 of 2 made in 1992. Koko means "night" in Blackfoot Indian. He is one of the largest of Kathy's bears that I can find--13" tall if you sit him up, or 13" long if you stand him on all 4 paws. Kathy recycles old fur coats and stoles and makes them into something happy. Often she uses mink, but the tag just says "vintage fur". So not sure what kind, but it's super soft.
Also features vintage cashmere foot pads, ultrasuede muzzle, and shoebutton eyes. With original tag and price. Also hand signed on the footpad. Koko is in excellent condition. He is mostly dark brown and does have some lighter brown fur on his back as shown.
Vintage Kathy Myers bears rarely come up for sale and there are no others on Ebay at the time of listing.
