🧸✨ THREE REPAIRS. 36 YEARS OF LOVE. ONE VERY SPECIAL TEDDY. ✨🧸

Some people just keep coming back to Repair Cafe… and we’re not complaining! ❤️

This much-loved teddy bear has now visited the Repair Café THREE times for a little TLC and a full makeover. At 36 years old, this bear has clearly lived a very loved life — and it was definitely starting to show! 🥹

Over the course of its three visits, our clever repair volunteer repairers have given this old friend a serious refresh — repairing, restoring and bringing it back from well-worn to looking fresh and fabulous! ✨

Because sometimes you don't replace the teddy… you repair the memories. ❤️
There’s something pretty special about knowing that a toy that has been loved for 36 years can get another chapter instead of ending up in the bin.

We reckon this teddy has a few more adventures left in it yet! 🧸💪

See you at the next Repair Café — what will you bring us? 🔧♻️
