Steiff Platinum Paper Teddy bear EAN 006999
Sometimes creativity arises from adversity. At the end of World War I, Steiff was faced with a lack of wool and similar plush materials. Always innovative, the company found ways to produce bears and animals with a substitute paper-based material from 1919 through 1921.
This fabric made a comeback for the first time in 2010 with a special replica exclusively for Steiff Club members. In 2014 they produced a white paper Ted.
Using this rediscovered technology, this new "Paper Teddy bear" is now being introduced in brilliant platinum grey.
This paper ted has wooden eyes and a hand-stitched grey nose.
He is wearing a silver-colored elephant chest tag, the first logo Steiff used
