This red hot bear has beautiful gradient ribbon and bold Mexican flag embroidery on his chest. Osito was part of a USA exclusive collection called the International Collection, born on the 5th of February and not the 5th of May.

Let's see what the poem in her tag says: Velvet loves to sleep in the trees, lulled to dreams by the buzz of the bees. She...
