During the September 13 episode of It’s Showtime, Vice Ganda introduced her latest accessory—a fuzzy teddy bear tote. Rendered in brown with an all-over plush finish, the square-shaped shopper comes with a teddy bear’s face stitched prominently at the center.

If the bag looks familiar, that’s because it’s identical to the one famously spotted on V (Kim Taehyung) of BTS.

V was first spotted with the playful tote back in July, when he was in Paris for Michael Rider’s debut showcase at Celine. Off the runway, the Korean idol styled the bag with a graphic ringer tee from Celine, dark-wash denim, and black boots as he strolled through the city streets.


His laid-back look quickly went viral, prompting fans to track down the accessory, which was soon identified as the Bartholomew Bear Tote Bag from Jellycat London, a British brand known for its stuffed toys.

Earlier this month, Vice Ganda also seemed to replicate V’s ensemble during her trip to the U.K. She wore a varsity logo tee from Celine in the same palette, paired with baggy jeans, white sneakers, and the Bartholomew Bear Tote slung over her shoulder.

Bartholomew Bear is a character created by British stuffed toy maker, Jellycat. Marketed as kind, gentle, and brave, the teddy has become a favorite among toy collectors. Over time, the brand has expanded its likeness into merchandise, including this playful tote.


Made primarily from polyester, the bag measures 24 cm x 36 cm x 8 cm, making it spacious enough to fit some books and a 13-inch laptop. The bag is currently available on Jellycat’s website for €95 or roughly P6,400.
