What makes this collector’s item truly special is the attention to detail. According to media reports, each bear is fully jointed, allowing movement, and features intricate embroidery on its feet marking the 100th birthday occasion. From a tiny jewelled pin to the iconic ear tag with a brass button, a hallmark of Steiff, every element has been thoughtfully crafted.
