There is something special about Steiff's 1921 Replica that was exceptionally hard to capture. In fact, Steiff first discovered this Teddy four years ago & it has been on the 'drawing board' ever since. Last year, a designer decided to take a fresh look at the project. He saw something in the eyes & forehead that others had not noticed before. Suddenly, the solution became clear to him. The design then quickly fell into place. This gorgeous bear is made from a specially dyed brown bleached & distressed mohair. There is shaving around the muzzle & eyes, with airbrushed accents as well. Stuffed with excelsior wood shavings for a traditional feel. The result is pure perfection.
