Ok, I’ve spent the past month jetting from one event to the next, hobnobbing at the Oscars, the Grammy’s, and joining BEARPAW on their fantastic shoot in Lake Tahoe! But I’ve finally gotten round to editing this new video from the Sundance Film Festival! Not only was I thrilled to be one of the celebrities at the BEARPAW gifting suite, I had the chance to chat with a good number of fellow stars, as evidenced in this previously unseen video.

Ever since she and partner J.R. Martinez won Season 13 of Dancing with the Stars, BEARPAW “contessa” Karina Smirnoff has been super busy. “I had an amazing partner who gave it his all,” Karina says about their championship win. “We walked away with the mirror ball [trophy], and I’ve been on a nonstop roller-coaster since then!” Read More | Comments

New executive brings decades of experience to successful overseas business
BEARPAW Footwear announced today the hiring of Richard Marten as the new Vice President of International Business Development for the company.
As part of BEARPAW Footwear’s plans for growth and expansion this year, Marten will lead the charge in expanding BEARPAW’s presence in foreign markets where the company does not currently have brand penetration. In addition to managing BEARPAW’s current global distribution network, Marten will work directly with the product development and marketing teams to develop a global strategy that allows BEARPAW’s partners to act on a local needs basis.
“I am extremely excited to be joining the team at BEARPAW,” said Marten. “The passion and enthusiasm is infectious and I’ve always been a big fan of the brand. I’m excited to get started as we take the business to the next level.” Read More | Comments

Mommies can’t get enough of BEARPAW, and according to their blogging habits, they love BEARPAW boots for their comfort and everyday wear-ability. That said, we’re sure it comes as no surprise that BEARPAW has been featured on the popular Momma Told Me blog.
Mommy blogs, which have been dominating the Internet, offer information to their readers on all things domestic. While household duties can be exhausting — and perhaps overwhelming for new moms trying to get into the groove of things — some super-mommies take the time out of their busy schedules to share their findings and knowledge with others. This is great news for anyone who loves ! Read More | Comments

The holidays are a time to be thankful and joyful for all the wonderful things that have happened to us this year. This is also a time to give back! In that spirit, BEARPAW plans to help “Keep Tahoe Blue,” having recently partnered with the League to Save Lake Tahoe, a nonprofit advocacy group committed to the preservation of the lake.

Jamie Foxx gave a concert and Diddy hosted a bash, and rumor has it there was some kind of game on Sunday, but undoubtedly one of the places to be throughout NBA All-Star weekend was Sportie LA, where BEARPAW was one of the signature sponsors of a three-day block party that had the town buzzing. VIPs like Justin Bieber, Rick Fox, Amber Rose, and Bai Ling were treated to a BEARPAW’s, loving the Viper, Sienna, and other styles (not to mention the BEARPAW backpack!), and participating in a hoops competition benefiting the UN Foundation’s Nothing but Nets. That organization was a co-sponsor of the event, along with SLAM Magazine, the official bible of basketball fans everywhere. Read More | Comments

True to his word, our new best friend Simon Rawley-Wells has sent us some behind-the-scenes video from his visit to Sonoma. As our readers know, BEARPAW met Simon Rawley-Wells in wine country, where we were on a catalog shoot for our Fall-Winter line and he was doing a lifestyle piece called “Wines Models Drink.” Naturally, our models drink BEARPAW Wine (stay tuned to find out where you can get some for yourself!), and over a few glasses we really bonded with this fascinating man.

The latest clip on BEARPAW TV has Simon
Rawley-Wells overcoming stage fright to join soul band The Black Diamond Riders for a private performance at the opening of BEARPAW’s LA showroom. What comes across in this episode is Simon’s desire to transition from presenter to performer. He’s such a natural interviewer – and has 20 years of it under his belt – that it’s clearly tough to shed that persona. Plus, celebs just love him. From Sarah Drew (Grey’s Anatomy) to Bridgetta Tomarchio (Californication), actresses in particular are incredibly comfortable around Simon. Maybe it’s that British charm, or the fact that they sense they’re around a kindred spirit, a fellow artist.

We’ll let you in on a little secret: you don’t have to love wine to love Sonoma, California. This is not to say that there isn’t some fantastic vino to be found! But it’s a place of natural beauty, crisp clean air, and breathtaking sunsets.
It’s no surprise that BEARPAW chose Sonoma as the locale for its Fall/Winter collection shoot. When the brand was launched, it embraced the mantra “Live Life Comfortably” but that was only the beginning. BEARPAW has evolved into a lifestyle of its own.
