One Steiff A Day: Leopold

The Steiff 2011 Worldwide Limited Edition & North American Limited Edition collections are now available for pre-order at Mostly Bears. For the month of February, we'll be featuring "One Steiff A Day".

Today, may we introduce,

Leopold!
The years surrounding 1912 were exciting ones at Steiff. The Teddy bear boom was still in full swing, the factory hummed, and output was extraordinary. During this time, some of the most beautiful bears ever made were produced. Exclusively for 2011, we're pleased to reintroduce a gorgeous bear from 1912 - Leopold. He's sewn from slightly distressed white mohair, features glistening black eyes, and has a brown hand-stitched mouth and claws. His expression is truly charming. Airbrushed accents add to his exceptional character. He wears a red and white ear tag and gold-plated Button in Ear, signifying his special status as a limited edition. You'll definitely want to make room in your collection for this classical bear from a very significant period in Steiff history.


EAN 036598, 15 inches, LE 1500, $265.

Preorders may be placed on the website. Refundable deposit of $50 holds your piece. All pieces ordered by 2/28/11 will receive a $27 store credit to use on any purchase from Mostly Bears.

One Steiff A Day: Teddy Bear Replica 1906

The Steiff 2011 Worldwide Limited Edition & North American Limited Edition collections are now available for pre-order at Mostly Bears. For the month of February, we'll be featuring "One Steiff A Day".

Today, may we introduce,

Teddy Bear Replica, 1906
Who says a Teddy has to be large in stature to have a big heart? Certainly not Steiff! We believe that Teddies of all sizes have plenty of love to share. Take our 1906 Replica, for example. He was originally manufactured in several larger sizes, all with great appeal. But there's something about this smaller version that's very special indeed. He's made with love - and it shows. From his hand-stitched claws to his distinctive muzzle to his wooden eyes, he's a very unique creation. His expression is classically Steiff. His traditional body silhouette is an acknowledgement of our past. And his ears look like they're just waiting to hear your secrets. If you love old-fashioned, antique-style bears, then our 1906 Replica is the perfect Teddy. He's waiting to share his very big heart with you.

EAN 403040, 14 inches, LE 1500, $335.

Preorders may be placed on the website. Refundable deposit of $50 holds your piece. All pieces ordered by 2/27/11 will receive a $34 store credit to use on any purchase from Mostly Bears.

One Steiff A Day: Johann

The Steiff 2011 Worldwide Limited Edition & North American Limited Edition collections are now available for pre-order at Mostly Bears. For the month of February, we'll be featuring "One Steiff A Day".

Today, may we introduce,

Johann
Auction finds are a major source of inspiration for our designers at Steiff. They follow the Teddy bear market closely, attending auctions and collecting catalogues - always on the lookout for wonderful rarities to reintroduce or reinterpret for our devoted collectors. The inspiration for Johann was found in an country auction. He had everything our collectors - and our designers - look for in a classic Teddy. First of all, his face is truly inviting and endearing. He has a hand stitched nose and sparkling black eyes. His nose is hand-stitched with black floss in the traditional Steiff style. His body, too, is very typically "Steiff". Discover Johann - just the way our auction watchers did - and we think you'll fall in love with him, too.

EAN 036835, 18 inches, LE 1500, $360.
Preorders may be placed on the website. Refundable deposit of $50 holds your piece. All pieces ordered by 2/25/11 will receive a $36 store credit to use on any purchase from Mostly Bears.
