Vintage Bears

We are collecting some of the world’s best designed and hand-made Teddy Bears to present here, please wait!

Teddy bear (泰迪熊) is a kind of long-standing stuffed plush toy that is often used to comfort children. It was invented by Maurice Mitch Tom and named after U.S. President Theodore "Teddy" Roosevelt. In recent years, some teddy bears have become expensive collectables. The world's first TEDDY BEAR MUSEUM was established in 1984 in Petersfield, England, but closed in 2006. Although the first museum has been closed, it is not the last one. Now it can be found in Europe, Asia and the United States.

A teddy bear is a stuffed toy in the form of a bear. Developed apparently simultaneously by toymakers Morris Michtom in the U.S. and Richard Steiff in Germany in the early years of the 20th century, and named after President Theodore "Teddy" Roosevelt, the teddy bear became a popular children's toy, celebrated in story, song, and film. Since the creation of the first teddy bears which sought to imitate the form of real bear cubs, "teddies" have greatly varied in form, style, color, and material. They have become collector's items, with older and rarer "teddies" appearing at public auctions. Teddy bears are among the most popular gifts for children and are often given to adults to signify love, affection, congratulations, or sympathy.
