Meet Mrs Jermyn. Her creativeness is evident right away.

This artist is from Finland and has transpired from a family well versed in textiles. Mrs Jermyn found herself exploring the world of design which landed her in Brooklyn, New York and is where mrTEDI transpired.

Mrs Jermyn has taken unwanted menswear shirts and upcycled them to adorable teddy bears. These bears posses unique character that stems from the shirt they are sewn from AND are a greener alternative to the landfill.
