Cute? Once. Cuddly? Maybe. But now? Just barely held together. This design captures the silent fury and frayed tenderness of a bear who’s seen some shit—and maybe was the shit before being left in the closet. Button-eyed, clawed-up, and screaming on the inside. Just like you.

Why You’ll Love It:

Drippy ink sketch style with a heartbreak snarl

The most feral teddy since Lotso turned evil

Feels like emotional support... but unmedicated

Perfect for anyone stitched together with sarcasm and spite

Whether you hug it or wear it—Threadbare gets you.
(It just doesn’t want to talk about it.)
