Polar Bear Creations

The vendor's About page describes Sue as the sole creative force behind Polar Bear Creations, a home-based one-person business run from Yellowknife. Searches of Corporations Canada's federal corporation database and the NWT corporate registry site turned up no incorporation record, consistent with an unincorporated sole proprietorship; neither registry search could be completed with certainty through automated fetch, so ownership rests on the vendor's own account rather than a registry filing.

Every product page describes the items in the first person as handmade by Sue herself in Yellowknife, with no mention of contract manufacturing or outside workshops. This is a single-maker craft business, so manufacturing is entirely in Canada.

• Critter — Polar Bear Creations vendor_statement “I previously made the owls from terry cloth but have now switched to cotton velour”
• Dolls — Polar Bear Creations vendor_statement “For stuffing I use 100% clean, carded sheep wool.”

The vendor states she and her family live in Yellowknife, Northwest Territories, and the business has no other disclosed location or staff beyond herself.

The doll and cuddle-doll lines state their cotton jersey knit body fabric comes from Switzerland and the Netherlands, tested to Oeko-Tex Standard 100. The rest of the range, including cotton fabric and velour for blankies, critters, and nature-table pieces, and the sheep wool and mohair used for stuffing and hair throughout, carries no stated origin, so most of the mix is an estimate weighted toward non-Canadian, non-EU sourcing given the global craft-textile and wool trade. The storefront runs on Squarespace, a US company, accounting for a small US share.
