Designer Ross Menuez reinvents a childhood classic with his Kuma Bears, a series of psychedelically patterned teddies so vibrant that the Grateful Dead Bears pale in comparison. Made from 100 percent organic cotton canvas and stuffed with organic cotton filling, the Kuma Bears are hand-silk-screened using eco-friendly (and worry not, parents, child-safe) soy-based inks.
Available for pre-order via Areaware, the Kuma Bears will be available to ship mid-November. More images below the fold. ::Areaware

Kuma means bear in Japanese. I wonder if the name had that in mind.
