Strike a pose: The Vinted user becomes viral to model clothing on Ikea Bear

A Vinted seller has become viral because he made her brown bear from Ikea to hit a number of poses while modeling her unwanted clothing.

Cara O'Brien, a barista based in Cambridgeshire, received the Teddy, who was generally known as a djungelskog a few years ago, from the Swedish company, which is popular for its standby furniture and accessories.

She was inspired to use it as a window doll as a clothing in her Vinted account called “Brat-Potatoes” in 2023 after modeled another user on a cardboard section of Danny Devito and had the feeling that she had to think more creatively if she wanted to improve the sale.

The 23-year-old, who initially started her Vinted account around 2021 without her fabric buddy of the PA news agency: “I thought I had to do something so that people actually look at my things, and I sell articles that do not differ from what everyone else sells there.

“I had the idea of using the bear for ages, and he was sitting on my bed and I thought:” I think he would fit in a skirt. “

The toy bear effortlessly posed in everything, from crop tops over mini skirts and clothes, while she rests her hand in the face and in one case and Madonna apparently channeled in her Vogue music video.

Ms. O'Brien said her unusual Vinted model helped her business and helped her collect about £ 500 and hundreds of views per post.

“Before I use Djungelskog, I may have made one sale a month, but now I may make one or two a week,” she said.

“One day I uploaded a top and it was sold within an hour.”

However, the teddy does not quite have the right physique to carry all of their clothes.

“It's a bit of a press; I've tried to put pants on him before, and it just didn't really work, ”she said.

“I actually bought a smaller version of him that I will use, so everything that is too small for him – I will be in the smaller places.

“I will also try to put a few shoes on him because I have the feeling that the proportions will be very funny.”

Ms. O'Briens Vinted account is on various social media platforms of X, formerly known as Twitter, up to Tikkok, with posts over the bizarre business idea over 200,000 views.

Many have expressed their worship for Djungelskog until some asked whether the soft toy is for sale.

“Many people send me a message about buying the bear and say that they love the model and it's so cute,” she said.

“I had a dispute with a girl because she was found that she would buy my bear.

“She even went so far as my list of Photoshop to say that the bear was the product.

“I think (viral) so funny.”
