A bookmark must sometimes wait a very long time for a reader to return, so it helps to leave a good thought behind. This gold-toned metal one keeps Paddington Bear's reassuring words beside the page: he may never be like other people, but that is quite all right because he is a bear.

Quite All Right to Be a Bear

Paddington Bear kneels beside a tangle of flowers, his red hat bright above his blue duffle coat. Loose black lines and small touches of enamel colour sit against the muted gold-toned metal, like a favourite illustration kept safe between the pages.

Beneath him are the words ‘I'll never be like other people, but that's alright because I'm a bear.’ There is no apology in them. Paddington Bear remains entirely himself—polite, curious and quietly certain that being a bear is no reason not to belong.

Keep the Story Waiting

Slide the shaped metal clip over the page before closing a novel, travel book or well-loved childhood story. The slim form sits close to the paper, while Paddington Bear remains visible above the page edge to show exactly where the reading should begin again.

Made from metal alloy with enamel colour, it performs one modest but important duty: remembering the page faithfully until the reader returns.

A Reader Entirely Themselves

The bookmark waits between the pages with Paddington Bear's words still visible above them. When the book is opened again, the reader finds both the correct place and the same gentle assurance: being oneself is quite all right, and every good story has room for someone different.
