Bert is a realistic handcrafted stuffed Australian Bandicoot marsupial soft toy with airbrushed details.

The bandicoot is a rat-like Australian marsupial that makes itself a nest using leaf litter and soil. It has a tummy pouch that is open to the back instead of the front. This prevents the baby from being covered in dirt when the mother is digging for insects.

Bocchetta Plush Toys was established in 1948, in Arona, Italy by Giovanni Bocchetta and Clementina Ottobrini. Giovanni adored animals and was inspired to produce stuffed animals. Every toy was hand sewn and they made their own fur. Linda Bocchetta, an Australian citizen, met Luigi (Giovanni and Clementina's son) while she was living in Italy. They continued to operate the family business in Italy together before moving it to Indonesia, where they increased the scope of production. In 2005, they moved the design and wholesale section of the business to Australia where it continues to operate today.
