Amazingly it takes just as long for Steiff to craft a mohair bear in miniature as it does a full-sized bear. Only the most skilled seamstresses can work on these pieces and it takes a three-year apprenticeship to learn all of Steiff’s time-honoured techniques. Given this painstaking process, it’s no wonder that Steiff bears are the most sought-after throughout the world!

This annual ornament series ensures you can be one of the first to receive each ornament every year, guaranteeing you the softest and cutest yuletide display your family has ever seen!

Each design is usually kept under lock and key, but we’ve been able to show you a preview of the 2021 bear. Superbly crafted from the finest materials and brimming with Christmas spirit, this adorably festive little bear is just the right size to take pride of place on your tree next Christmas – and for many years to come! Beautifully dressed and lovingly stitched by hand, he has him all the charm and detail of a full-size Steiff Bear… And for the perfect finishing touch, his removable hanger will be stamped with the year of issue “2021”. He’s an ideal gift and a charming way to recall special memories of the year.
