Teddy bear creator honors Queen Elizabeth II's 100th birthday with toy tribute
This commemorative bear is available for £289 and has been created as part of very limited edition
The German toy brand Steiff has introduced a unique collector's teddy bear to celebrate what would have marked Queen Elizabeth II's 100th birthday.
This commemorative bear is available for £289 and has been created as part of a very limited edition, with only 4,996 pieces released worldwide.
This specific number is a tribute to the late Queen, who passed away at 96 years of age.
The centenary celebration is anticipated to prompt various events and remembrances of the Queen's life throughout the UK and globally.
Steiff, known for creating the teddy bear over a century and a half ago, has designed this homage with their signature attention to detail and traditional craftsmanship.
The bear is made from high-quality mohair and adorned in one of the Queen’s most memorable outfits, the lime green coat, and matching hat she wore during a notable public appearance.
Every detail has been carefully reproduced, including her iconic pearl necklace, a sparkling crystal brooch, and her familiar handbag.
Each bear features Steiff's signature brass button ear tag and is individually numbered with a certificate of authenticity, housed in a premium souvenir bag.
The bear is fully poseable with five joints, and the soles of its feet feature intricate colored embroidery commemorating the centennial event.
A small jeweled brooch and a beautifully adorned hat illustrate the expert craftsmanship Steiff has honed over 150 years.
Ian Munro, Steiff's Director of International Sales, expressed: "Although the Queen was physically small, her influence was tremendous.
"Her vibrant, bold outfits were chosen to ensure she could be seen from afar even in the largest of crowds.
"Our commemorative Teddy bear is a reflection of that image."
He further commented: "April 21 will be an emotionally significant day for many individuals. Her passing signified not only the loss of a Queen but of a remarkable era in history.
"We are truly honored to commemorate this occasion in the way we know best at Steiff - by crafting a beautiful bear by hand that will captivate hearts now and become a cherished heirloom for future generations, much like Queen Elizabeth II's enduring legacy."
