Robin Rive Bears

When Robin Rive founded Country Life New Zealand in 1973,creating large hand puppets and soft kiwis and sheep for the New Zealand tourist market, little did she think that a quarter of a century later, her award-winning bears and gollies would be exported to 129 different countries. Robin Rive has now been joined by her husband Bryan and her daughter Brigitte, making it a real ‘family affair’.
