Britt Story

The Britt story began in Portsmouth, England where Britt Collinson was born. From an early age, Britt loved creating hand-made presents for close friends and family. It is this passion for creating from the heart that led to the formation of the iconic Australian brand, “britt bears” and “britt collinson”.
Britt moved to Sydney Australia at age 12 and she left school age 15. After a few office and hospitality jobs and traveling the world she found herself drawn to the vibe, freedom and creativity of the Sydney weekend market stores and festivals at which she sold her hand made wares called “fluffyfings”. From here this grew into a successful wholesale business that went on to supply over 200 retail outlets in Australia within two years. Britt’s style evolved, leading her to create the more sophisticated, luxurious Britt brand in 1999 during which she created the one and only Britt Bear!
