Design oriented

For the person who notices how things are made. Every teddy here is handmade, and many are mohair or alpaca with full jointing, which is the traditional way to make a bear and still a fine one. They sit well, they age well, and up close the difference from a plush bear is obvious in the stitching and the face.

Steiff invented this kind of bear in Giengen in 1902. Teddy-Hermann has made them in Franconia since 1912. Charlie Bears' handmade range brings a more modern face to the same craft. All three are here.

These are not toys, and the makers mark them as such. They are for a shelf, a desk or a chair, and for someone who will look at them properly.
