Description

A proud, classical bear with a bold personality and charming smile. He is hand-crafted from traditional golden mohair and features pure cotton velvet paws, one of which is subtly embroidered in gold with Queen Elizabeth’s royal cypher. Inspired by one of His Royal Highness’s most recognisable outfits, this characterful bear is dressed in a fully-lined woollen overcoat, complete with pocket square detailing. A high quality recreation of his Royal Navy cap, made from pure cotton and wool felt, finishes his striking uniform.

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.
