My First Steiff Teddy Bear
It is only recently that Steiff have addressed the volume teddy bear market by introducing the “My First range” – the most popular is, as you would expect, the My First Steiff Teddy Bear in Beige – although the blue and pink ones are quite sought after.
Because Steiff have such a strong reputation for quality and longevity of their teddy bears – which hold their value so well – it was quite difficult for them to adjust – as they found that the limited edition teddy bear market was no longer expanding – and in some countries contracting quite quickly.
Steiff Riding Animals
At the trade shows this year we had a chat with the Steiff people and together we decided that we, at Toys and Learning, should widen our range of their products.
We were surprised to sell a Steiff Riding Lion – called Leo within the first month.
Why were we surprised – I don’t really know – perhaps because they are expensive – But . . . . .
A couple of years ago we looked at stocking rocking horses – we checked the whole market – we could not find anything that had the right quality – that we could sell at a reasonable price – so we decided to leave well alone and stay out of that market.
Steiff Fynn Travelling Teddy Bear
We seem to be seeing a lot of nostalgia these days in all walks of life – traditional classics we all know and love are marking a comeback – so it should have come as no surprise when, from amongst our educational toys, our wonderful range of Steiff teddy bear soft toys started flying off the shelves.
People can’t seem to get enough of them for the simple reason that they are beautifully made and designed – they really capture the joy of owning your first teddy bear.
