From our archives, Compass Magazine, Apr. 2002:
This is an extremely cute store, run by a cute couple and filled with cute things. Recently relocating to La Cite fashion outlet mall, Mini Bear House is a cozy establishment that, from the outside, looks like something out of a children’s story book. Inside, it is packed with all kinds of stuffed animals, knick-knacks, clothing, fashion accessories and decorations, that are uniformly cute and appeal to a female clientele ranging from teenagers to mothers. Mrs. Tsai, who runs the place with her husband, makes sure there is no shortage of her two favorite collectibles, teddy bears and Hello Kitty paraphernalia, including clocks, toaster ovens, rice cookers and music boxes. Be sure and notice the rare collector’s edition Hello Kitty TV (only 3,000 made). Stuffed bears and other animals come from reputable makers like Harrods and Russ. Three are also Peter Rabbit sculptures and plates, Winnie The Pooh items, Japanese women’s clothing, and handbags.
