She chose organza because of its light appearance, added wings like an elf, and took colors of petals, nature and moss because Fairytales should be enchanting and flowery.

	Mohair Teddy bear 1907 blond, is a true replica because the new versions have faithfully recreated the original with a little patina and the physical traces of countless loving hugs throughout the decades. In order to attain this “worn” look, the Teddy bears first had to take a trip to mohair producers Schulte, who have been serving Margarete Steiff GmbH for over 100 years, having also supplied the plush for the original Teddy bear. Here, a rather sparse plush was created, emulating the current condition of the original. In addition, the plush and the felt paws were patinated slightly. The wood shavings used to stuff the replicated Teddy bear has also been deliberately made a little lighter than usual, given that the wood shavings found in the original Teddy bear has shrunk somewhat over the last 100 years. This also gives the replica the charming, slightly bowed head of the original. The “worn” impression is conveyed perfectly through the slightly asymmetrical ears and a nose that has been discreetly waxed. And, needless to say, the brushed stainless steel “Button in Ear” features the typical “Steiff” lettering from 1907 with the final F tailing back to the E. This button has been used since circa1906 up until the 1930s. For the first time ever, this replica now bears this very “Button in Ear”: with the same design and made from the same material as the original. Such a perfect reproduction that this Teddy bear could pass as the twin brother of the original, gazing at the world through his boot-button eyes – waiting to be lifted up and hugged or to take pride of place in a collector’s showcase. The original Teddy bear from 1907 can be admired in the “Die Welt von Steiff” Adventure Museum. However, it has now also been resurrected as a unique replica. The bear is limited to 1907 pieces, is 45 cm in size and comes in a box with certificate of authenticity. EAN 400506

The nation's favorite Teddy Bear tune is preserved within this beautiful classic mohair Teddy bear whose heartbeat plays "Teddy Bear's Picnic". Written by American composer and theatrical producer John Walter Bratton who is best remembered for this 1907 composition, even though he wrote over 250 songs for Broadway musicals during his fifty year career. "Teddy Bear's Picnic" became an instant and lasting hit as an instrumental only. The song regained prominence in 1932 when the Irish-British lyricist Jimmy Kennedy added words. The instrumental now with lyrics was broadcast in the kiddies' section of a BBC radio show and the publisher's office was deluged with requests for sheet music.

	The year 1907 went down in the history of Margarete Steiff GmbH as a record year for Teddy bear production. Just five years after Richard Steiff invented the Teddy bear, production increased far beyond all expectations. Almost a million bears – 973,999 to be precise – were produced in Giengen in 1907, more than ever before. This was only possible because the 400 employees in the factory were supplemented by 1,800 outworkers. In fact, hardly any households in Giengen and its surrounding area were not involved in the production of Teddy bears. Even the local priest helped to stuff Teddy bears. The Teddy bear “A Million Hugs” has been issued to celebrate the 100th birthday of the “Teddy bear boom”. The Mohair Teddy bear "A Million Hugs", bright brass is one of three anniversary Teddy bears, issued in an edition of 3000 pieces each. The word “hug” was specifically chosen because, apart from being a synonym for “embrace”, it has also come to be used as a collective term for Teddy bears: “a hug of bears”. Accordingly, these Teddy bears symbolize the warmth and comfort of a hug from a beloved Teddy bear, multiplied by the collection – regardless of how big or small. Measuring 28 cm, these Teddy bears come with an elegant blue bow – with the years “1907” and “2007” embroidered in gold thread. As is fitting for the 100th anniversary of the record year, the gold-plated “Button in Ear” features the “Steiff” lettering from the time with the final F tailing back to the E. This “underscored button” has come out of retirement for the first time for these special Teddy bears. The bears do have a certificate of authenticity but do not come in a box or bag. EAN 038778
