    Authentic Retro Kitsch | Hand-Stitched Heirloom | 1970s/80s Character Collection.

    ​A rare find for the vintage collector or "Grannycore" enthusiast. This is an original, handmade set of Goldilocks and the Three Bears, preserved in beautiful condition. Standing at 20cm (Goldilocks), these figures perfectly capture the whimsical, kitschy charm of mid-century British craft.
    ​
    ​Unlike modern reproductions, these characters feature the authentic materials and styling of a bygone era:

    ​The Wardrobe: Each bear and doll is dressed in bespoke, removable clothing featuring era-appropriate textures—stiffened felt waistcoats, hand-knit cardigans with original tiny buttons, and delicate lace trimmings.

    ​Goldilocks: Stunning blonde ringlet hair (carefully preserved), a bright fuchsia tea dress, and those iconic handmade lace-edged leggings.

    ​The Bear Family: Papa Bear in his sharp navy waistcoat; Mama Bear in her cosy cream knit and floral dress with petticoat; and the smallest "Baby Bear" in rustic woodland tones.

    ​Condition: Excellent vintage condition. The crochet work is tight and secure, and the colors remain vibrant.
    ​Aesthetic: Perfect for Kitsch, Cottagecore, or Retro Nursery decor. They bring an instant "storybook" warmth to any shelf or mantel.

    ​Dimensions: Goldilocks stands at 20cm; Bears graduated in size for a perfect "family" display.

    ​Origin: Authentic handmade British craft.

    ​Why They Are Special: These are more than just toys; they are folk art. The intricate work on the clothing—especially the tiny buttons and layered fabrics—shows the hours of love that went into their creation. They are a "Just Right" addition to a vintage toy collection or a very special gift for a new generation.
