Materials and Craftsmanship

This Peter Rabbit is made from the finest alpaca woven fur, which lends a beautifully soft and tactile feel, characteristic of Steiff’s exceptional craftsmanship. His fur has been meticulously stitched to showcase a naturalistic appearance, with delicate shading enhancing the contours of his face and limbs. He holds a pink radish in his right paw made from felt.

The jacket features fine stitching and a classic cut, capturing the essence of Beatrix Potter’s original illustrations. The character’s iconic mischievous expression is brought to life with expertly hand-embroidered details, including his whiskers and endearing smile. His bright, shiny eyes are crafted from glass, giving them a lifelike sparkle that reflects his playful nature.

Limited Edition Features

This rabbit is adorned with Steiff’s signature gold-plated button in the ear, a mark of authenticity and quality, as well as a white-and-red label bearing its unique edition number. This Peter Rabbit 100 Years Anniversary Edition is a true celebration of artistry, storytelling, and nostalgia, destined to be cherished by collectors and fans alike.
