Our Favourite Children’s Book Character Jewellery: Paddington Bear

Some characters stay with us forever.

Few are as loved as Paddington Bear, the polite little bear from Peru who arrived in London with nothing but a suitcase, a hat and a love of marmalade sandwiches.

Created by author Michael Bond, Paddington has been charming readers since the very first book was published in 1958.

Today, Paddington is not just a beloved children’s character. He is a symbol of kindness, curiosity and adventure.

At Licensed To Charm, we’re proud to celebrate this iconic bear through our officially licensed Paddington Bear jewellery collection, transforming the character into wearable keepsakes crafted in precious metals.


The Story of Paddington Bear

Paddington first appeared in the book “A Bear Called Paddington” written by Michael Bond.

The story begins when the Brown family discovers a small bear sitting at Paddington Station in London, with a label around his neck that reads:

"Please look after this bear. Thank you."

They decide to take him home.

From that moment on, Paddington’s adventures begin.

With his red hat, blue duffle coat and love of marmalade sandwiches, Paddington quickly became one of the most beloved characters in children’s literature.


Why Paddington Is Still Loved Today

Part of Paddington’s charm is his personality.

He is:

• curious
• kind
• slightly mischievous
• always polite

His famous phrase “If we’re kind and polite, the world will be right” perfectly captures why so many people love him.

For generations of readers, Paddington represents warmth, humour and the idea that everyone deserves a place to belong.


From Children’s Books to a Global Icon

Since Michael Bond first introduced Paddington to readers, the character has grown into a worldwide phenomenon.

Paddington has appeared in:

• more than 20 books
