Description

Merrythought is proud to introduce this extraordinary teddy bear, which we have beautifully brought to life in memory of Diana, Princess of Wales.

Based on the design of Merrythought’s iconic ‘Diana’ bear, which we originally created in 1997, this is a collectable bear of exceptional elegance and grace. She is meticulously hand-crafted from superior quality mohair plush, combined with the softest pure cotton velvet, and features iridescent aquamarine eyes alongside an oyster-pink hand-embroidered nose.

This exquisite bear is accessorised with a delicate raw silk and pearl trim collar, secured with a satin ribbon bow. Since Princess Diana was known to many as ‘England’s Rose’, she symbolically clasps a hand-made pure silk single rose held between her hand-paws, which in turn contain small magnets so they can be positioned either opened or closed.

Launched in the year that marks 25 years since Diana’s passing, this unique collector’s item pays tribute to the beauty and kindness that she, the ‘People’s Princess’, was so adored for around the world.

Each bear is individually numbered as part of a special edition and with a 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.
