Steiff – Teddy Bear with Little Felt Elephant

2020 marks 140 years since Margarete Steiff sold her first Little Elephant in 1880. She first designed it for her sister-in-law, and it even predates the label’s beloved bears that fill playrooms across the world today. To celebrate, a “beary” special, limited-edition run is being released; the brand’s teddy, crafted from mohair and pinned with a gold-plated badge, is kept company with a miniature felt ‘phant, made just like the very first of its kind all those years ago.
