Jill Robinson, founder and CEO Animals Asia:

Animals Asia's founder and CEO Jill Robinson MBE with Moon Bear Notebooks

Moon Bear Notebook

“I’ve slowly realised that there’s only so fast you can take down information on a smartphone. I’m back with pen and paper and these are the coolest. I recall when Filofaxes took over Hong Kong, then we started seeing designer note pads like Moleskine. Me? I’m more of a moon bear notebook type of person. I’m going to make it my mission to get everyone using these. And they never need recharging!” 

The moon bear notebook is designed by UK cartoonist Martin Balaam. He told us:

“...when I saw these beautiful creatures enduring so much pain, I realised that for someone who loves animals as much as I do, I don’t spend enough time around them. I thought I should channel more of my creative energy into doing something to help them.”

Join us in spreading that creative energy around. Get writing on a moon bear notebook for US$7.

Miomojo Tank Top

Miomojo Tank Top

“Being asked to do a spot of modelling for Animals Asia is a first. Normally surrounded by bears and dogs in a part of the country that swings between tropical heat and winter cold - we choose practicality over looks, but this is great. I’m hoping I can keep this. I especially like the slogan: ‘A bear hug to the moon and back’. This has been the year of the bear hug at Animals Asia. It comes from our founder Jill and there’s no escape. The world needs more bear hugs!”

The tank top is designed by Italian supporters Miomojo who have been working with Animals Asia since 2012. The material is 100 per cent organic cotton and very, very soft (just like a moon bear!). Designer moonbearwear at a “bearly" believable US$20. 

Tele Lam and Hayden

Kids Cartoon T -shirt

Kids Cartoon T-shirt

Making his modelling debut is young animal lover and junior #MoonBearHero Hayden - he’s the nephew of Tele the human dynamo, who's based at our office in Hong Kong and is in charge of our online shop.

Tele says:

“When I first saw this T-shirt I knew that Hayden would love it and so I managed to use the T-shirt to bribe him to do a spot of modelling. Hayden knows all about the moon bears and he’s a sworn protector. I loved watching his friends asking him questions about the shirt - he was so knowledgeable. I’m such a proud auntie.”

The Kids’ Cartoon T-shirt is designed by UK Cartoonist Martin Balaam. It’s super-soft 100 per cent organic cotton and is guaranteed to turn your child into a moon bear fan for only US$18. 

Wristband and Crystal Tassel Bracelet

Crystal Tassel Bracelet

Resident Vet Weng Yan Ng:

“Now this is gorgeous. I spend my days decked out in Animals Asia gear. T-shirt, cap, scrubs – especially if we’re operating on a bear. I’m always proud to wear it and doubly so whenever I’m asked about what we do. Generally on my days off, I dress simply and don't wear accessories, but this... this I’d definitely wear out. It’s the most stylish way ever to support the moon bears.”

This beautiful bracelet is made from three intertwined stretchy crystal bead strings – adorned with cotton tassels and a 925 sterling silver bear charm. It comes with an organic cotton drawstring bag. Support for the cause in style for just US$32.
