We lovingly tattered, trimmed and darkened areas of his fur to show his age, removing fur around areas where he would have been handled and carried the most. The stitching on his nose is sparse and he's a bit bald in spots, but that's what's wonderful about being an old teddy! He has an antiqued gemstone pendant designed to look like an old piece of turquoise. It's safe to say that when you have a teddy bear friend like Shoushan, you've got a friend for life!
