Jellycat Bartholomew Bear with Bathrobe Stuffed Animal, 10 inches - Teddy Bear Plush - Soft & Huggable - Classic Children's Gift

4.6 · 262 reviews

The Jellycat Bartholomew Bear with Bathrobe takes the same classic soft teddy silhouette and dresses him in a tied-front, vanilla-colored plush bathrobe complete with floppy bunny ears on the hood, giving him a playful spa-day, bedtime-ready look. He's built on the same 10 inch frame as the plain Bartholomew, but the robe and bunny-ear detail make this version a natural pick for a cozy bedtime gift or a spa-day themed present rather than an everyday neutral teddy.

About Jellycat Bartholomew Bear with Bathrobe Stuffed Animal, 10 inches - Teddy Bear Plush - Soft & Huggable - Classic Children's Gift

Bartholomew Bear is one of Jellycat's longest-running classic teddies, built on the brand's signature dense, gossamer-soft plush and finished by hand in multiple layers so the proportions feel deliberate rather than mass-produced. Jellycat is well known among parents for exactly this kind of tactile quality, which is part of why the brand shows up so often on baby registries and gift lists.

What sets this version apart is the costume: Bartholomew comes dressed in a soft, tied-front bathrobe in a warm vanilla shade, with floppy bunny ears stitched onto the hood, as if he just stepped out of a bath or a spa day. The robe is sewn as part of the design rather than a separate, removable piece, so it's best treated as the bear's permanent look. That whimsical detail is what makes this version work well as a bedtime companion or a themed gift, a new-baby-coming-home present, a bath-time gift basket, or a lighthearted pick for someone who collects dressed-up Jellycats, rather than the all-purpose neutral gift that the plain Bartholomew is.

Reviewers who bought this one specifically call out the bathrobe as the reason they picked it over a plain teddy. Several describe it as a bedtime or bath-time buddy for a granddaughter or daughter, and note the same soft, well-made feel as other Jellycat bears. A few also mention it runs a little smaller than they pictured and comes at a noticeably higher price point than a basic plush, worth knowing going in.

The Honest Take

What We Like and What We Don't

What we like

  • Bathrobe and bunny-ear hood give it a distinct, giftable personality beyond a generic teddy bear
  • Same dense, soft Jellycat plush quality as the brand's other classic bears
  • Works well as a themed gift for bath time, bedtime, or a coming-home moment
  • Weighted base lets him sit upright for display rather than flopping over

What holds it back

  • Costs meaningfully more than a basic teddy bear; several reviewers specifically called it expensive or pricey for the size
  • Runs smaller than some buyers expected from photos alone
  • Only comes in the one bathrobe look, so it's not the choice if you want a plain, non-costumed bear

Is This For You?

Who Should (and Shouldn't) Buy This

Get it if…

you want a Jellycat teddy bear with a playful, giftable twist, like a bath-time or bedtime themed present for a baby, granddaughter, or Jellycat collector, and you don't mind paying a premium for the costume detail.

Skip it if…

you'd rather have a plain, classic teddy bear without a costume, or if you're comparing plush toys mainly on price, since this version costs more than both the plain Bartholomew and most mass-market bears.

The verdict

If you like the idea of a classic Jellycat teddy but want something with a bit more personality and a built-in bedtime story, the bathrobe version delivers exactly that: the same soft, sturdy bear underneath, with a cozy costume that makes it click as a themed gift. It's a genuinely more expensive stuffed animal than most, so it makes the most sense as an intentional gift rather than an impulse buy.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's different about this Bartholomew Bear compared to the regular one?

This version comes dressed in a soft, tied-front bathrobe with bunny ears on the hood, on top of the same classic plush teddy body Jellycat uses for the standard Bartholomew Bear. The plain version without any accessory is a separate listing.

Can the bathrobe come off?

Jellycat presents this as Bartholomew wearing a soft plush bathrobe rather than a bear-plus-separate-outfit set, with a tied front and bunny-ear hood sewn as part of the design, so it's best treated as the bear's permanent look rather than a removable costume.

How does the bathrobe bear compare in size to the plain Bartholomew?

Both are built on the same roughly 10 inch frame, about 10.2 by 4.7 by 3.1 inches with an 8.7 inch sitting height, so the bathrobe version isn't a different size, just the same bear dressed in the robe and bunny-ear hood.
