Steiff Paddington EAN 664632

"'Please look after this BEAR - thank you'!"

For over 55 years, British born writer Michael Bond has been entertaining children and families all over the world with his stories of Paddington Bear - the marmalade loving, duffel coated, wellington booted bear from Darkest Peru ever since the first book, 'A Bear Called Paddington', was published by Harper Collins in 1958. Now Paddington is coming to the big screen in his first ever feature film. It tells the story of a naive and polite young bear from Peru with an endearing talent for comic chaos. Steiff's Paddington is made from the finest chestnut coloured mohair and is fully jointed. He is wearing his famous duffle coat in sky blue together with three wooden toggles down the front. His face is beautifully enhanced with a white snout and hand embroidered black mouth and nose - and jauntily perched over one ear is his famous red hat. He is carrying his personal suitcase with the initials PB on one side - and just so he does not get lost he is wearing a label around his neck which says 'Please look after this BEAR - thank you'.
