Purchased in Santa Barbara, USA in 1988. Moved to Santa Monica and then came to Japan. I believe that loose stitching and fading are part of what makes something Vintage, so I've lowered the rating, but I think this is a beautiful Vintage Bear ♡ Please purchase if you understand. ************************* About 40 years ago, while living in the US, Also, I have been running an American vintage clothing store for 30 years, and at that time I purchased items in the US and kept my favorites. As they are antique, I choose those that are not in the best condition. I will sell them little by little from among them. I also have a lot of children's vintage clothing ^_^ The condition, in the sense of being antique, has overall dirt and scratches. Many of the tags have faded lettering. I would like those who can understand this point to purchase. *Please note that we do not accept returns for antique items. #AmericanVintageClothing #AmericanAntiqueGoods #Mickey #Popeye #Snoopy #snoopy #Barbie #barbie #DonaldDuck #disney #Disney #CuriousGeorge #barbie #Barbie #Smurfs #Dorothy
