Description

This iconic British character teddy bear is dressed in a beautifully made, authentic Beefeater outfit. Based on the state dress of a real Tower of London guard, complete with Tudor hat, the clothing is fully removable, allowing the bear to be enjoyed in all his finery or simply as a stunning classic Merrythought soft toy.

Each wonderfully patriotic bear has been crafted in England from the finest golden mohair and pure wool felt. Classically designed and fully articulated, each features a friendly hand-embroidered smile to finish.

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.
