Vermont Teddy Bear We are excited to announce our partnership with Jen Ellis to produce Vermont Swittens, the mittens famously worn by Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders at the 2021 inauguration. A portion of the proceeds to benefit Make a Wish Vermont. Sign up below to learn more about this exciting partnership and when Vermont Swittens will be available to purchase.
Meet Jen Ellis & Her Vermont Swittens
Jen is our neighbor and a second-grade teacher in Essex Junction, VT. She and a partner began making Vermont Swittens years ago to sell locally. Each one is unique as they are made from retired wool sweaters, they are finished with a warm fleece lining made from recycled plastic (similar to the stuffing in our Bears!).
