Its paw pads are made from high-quality felt, adding a touch of refinement and complementing its vintage appeal.

Limited Edition Features

As with all authentic Steiff bears, it proudly displays the iconic “Button in Ear,” a hallmark of the brand’s quality and heritage. The accompanying white label marks it as a limited edition, with each bear individually numbered to signify its uniqueness and exclusivity.
