The Brandon Flowers Denim Bear

A unique handmade bear made from a pair of jeans donated by Brandon Flowers.

The bear was created as part of The Great Teddy Bear Project, which features 21 uniquely crafted teddy bears made from jeans donated by famous names from the worlds of music, TV and OUTER SPACE!

Handmade by Canterbury Bears at their workshop in the Kentish countryside, each bear is embroidered with the signature of the celebrity whose jeans they are made from.

The project is organised in support of Together for Short Lives, the UK’s leading charity for the 99,000 children with a life-limiting or life-threatening condition and their families.

About Brandon Flowers:

Brandon Flowers was the most popular frontman of the new wave revival, which swept through America and England during the early 2000s. As frontman of The Killers, he helped popularize a genre that hadn't been fashionable for nearly two decades, drawing influence from a number of
1980s synth-pop bands - including New Order, Echo & the Bunnymen, and the Psychedelic Furs - while writing the songs that comprised his band's multi-platinum debut, ‘Hot Fuss’.

Flowers also proved to be a super-sized media personality, gathering headlines for his clothing choices (which ran the gamut from neatly tailored suits to bizarrely feathered shoulder pads) and controversial, outspoken opinions on rival bands. Although the Killers retooled their sound with each album, the group rarely subscribed to convention - and Flowers, who launched a solo career in 2010, seemed happy to be the most unconventional of them all.
