The bear has been designed by Anja Koskinen who has been with Steiff for many years. Her mind was set on a fantasy character and so she chose shape and materials accordingly. 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. Bischoff Textil AG in St. Gall, world famous for its embroidery, did the glossy pale pink flowers sprinkled all over her body. The wings are made from a strong felt core and a delicate organza covering. The felt is about 1.3 mm thick, cream colored and made of pure wool. The lilac colored organza (made of pure silk) is smooth and fine and falls with an airy lightness! The paws and soles are also made of felt and silk. The glossy black glass eyes must be positioned exactly right to get the dreamy yet self assured look. A viscose type lilac yarn is used for the nose and mouth and a small stitching mistake can change the expression completely. She also comes with an elaborate personalized certificate. The button is made of brushed stainless steel and bearing the initials MS. The tag is elegant in black with silver lettering, individually woven and consecutively numbered.

EAN 400445

 
click here for big picture 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.

First does it have a special neck mechanism which allows his head to turn circular, as if he is eating the carrot that he is holding in his paws. He even has a carrot stashed in a pocket on his backside for later. Secondly does it have a music box that can be activated by turning his tail and then it will play a German song called "Aufm Wasa graset d Hasa" (translated it stands for: the rabbits are grazing in the meadow). Margarette Steiff liked to play this song on her Zither. The story behind this is that one day as a young woman Margarette Steiff sat in her garden, playing the zither. She caught a tiny rabbit eating her carrots and affectionately named him "Fritzle". When she continued to play, other animals including a hedgehog, squirrel, and a mouse entered into the garden to become her audience. He is limited to 2007 pieces and comes in a box with certificate of authenticity. This is the first in a series of Limited Edition animals from Steiff titled "Animals from Margarete’s Country Garden".

click here for big picture The Mohair Teddy baby blue is the first bear of the new Steiff series called "Little Giants," in which classic Steiff figures such as Teddy baby, Dolly, Petsy, Jackie and Zotty, measuring 50 cm in length, can make their dazzling appearance.

In the year 1992, this extraordinary Teddy bear, with his deep, beary voice, served as a model for the first Club Teddy bears by Steiff.

click here for big picture 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.
