Description

A beautiful Cheeky version of the teddy bear who famously inspired AA Milne's Winnie the Pooh stories; Edward Bear. Originally created by Farnell in 1921, Edward was brought to life again by Merrythought as the star of major feature film ‘Goodbye Christopher Robin’, and 2021 marks his 100th birthday. Purchased from Harrods by Daphne Milne for the first birthday of her son, Christopher Robin, Edward bear and his owner formed a unique bond and became the best of friends. Christopher’s father, AA Milne, was so enamoured by the partnership he witnessed between a boy and his teddy bear, that he decided to pen stories about their journey through life together. And so, Winnie The Pooh was born. Hand-crafted in England from the same natural materials as those used for Christopher Robin’s original Edward bear, this handsome chap features a rich, antique golden mohair coat and sandy-beige pure woollen felt paws. Presented with an individually numbered certificate.

Finest Materials

At Merrythought we source only premium materials to lovingly create our teddy bears. The best quality mohair or alpaca plush is selected and neatly cut to each soft toy’s unique set of patterns, many of which are based on original templates from the earliest years. Incorporating other natural fabrics, such as wool felt and cotton, the pieces are expertly worked with traditional needle and thread to form each part of the bear.

British Craftsmanship

The eyes, legs, arms and joints are skilfully sewn and assembled by hand, gradually creating the recognisable characteristics of the Merrythought bear. Taking time to fill the toy to an optimum weight, it is then ready for the finishing touches; a carefully hand-embroidered nose and smile, a thorough brush and trim, and a neatly tied ribbon bow.

Superior Quality

As a signature of quality, our exceptional soft toys are finished with a prestigious stamp of approval – the famous Merrythought gold-and-black label stitched to the right paw. The teddy bear is then ready to start its journey as a lifelong friend, continuing the magical Merrythought story for another generation.
