If you’re searching for Leola Bear, you might find her tucked away in her South London studio—surrounded by paintings, sculptures, and fashion sketches. When she’s not absorbed in her creative world, she’s off on adventures, chasing inspiration and the perfect shade of plum. This wonderfully distracted artist, known for reheating the same cup of tea three times, loses track of time whenever inspiration strikes. Luckily, her cousin Bartholomew Bear is always nearby, ready with a fresh tea refill and a slightly squashed biscuit. As her favorite muse, he’s modeled every costume Leola’s crafted—from his dazzling Heartthrob stage outfit to his spooky Bat Bear cape and his bold Sun costume for carnival. While Leola’s big break is still ahead, she’s content weaving magic for those she loves.
