Steiff 135 Year Jubilee Teddy Bear

The Steiff 135 Year Jubilee Teddy Bear is a commemorative creation honouring the beginning of Margarete Steiff's dress-making business in Giengen, Germany, in the year 1880. It was during this time that Margarete, the visionary founder of Steiff, crafted her initial pin cushion — an elephant adorned with a vibrant saddle. This whimsical creation captured the hearts of the children in Giengen, marking the start of the world's first soft toy.
 
In celebration of this historic milestone, Steiff presents the Jubilee teddy bear, expertly crafted from the finest golden blond mohair. With fully jointed limbs and paw pads crafted from exquisite felt, this teddy bear exudes both quality and charm.
 
Adorning the left paw pad is the embroidered inscription '135 Jahren' (135 Years), paying homage to Steiff's remarkable journey. The bear features expressive brown eyes, a meticulously hand-embroidered mouth and nose in matching brown hues, and a graceful golden satin bow elegantly draped around its neck.
 
A nod to Steiff's iconic beginnings, the bear proudly showcases an intricately crafted elephant on its right arm. This charming elephant, crafted from the finest white felt, dons a delightful yellow and blue saddle and base.
 
The Steiff 135 Year Jubilee Teddy Bear is a testament to the brand's legacy, celebrating 135 years of enchanting creations and capturing the timeless spirit of imaginative play.
