“Only the best is good enough for our children.”
With this statement, company founder Margarete Steiff established Steiff's commitment to quality.
For over a century, this has remained the Steiff motto.
The Tradition Of Steiff: Creator Of The First Teddy Bear
As the second oldest German toy company still in existence, Steiff has had a very influential role in how the world plays.
Margarete Steiff designed her first soft-filled fabric toy animal, an elephant made of felt, and began the family business. Margarete's nephew, Richard Steiff, studied art in Stuttgart and when he joined the company he brought a heightened sense of realism to Steiff designs. In 1902, Steiff created the 55PB, a mohair plush bear that is the basis for the modern Teddy Bear we all know today.
In 1902, Clifford Berryman, a well-know cartoonist for the Washington Post, made popular a caricature little bear with American President Theodore Roosevelt: thus, the "Teddy" bear was born. Children and adults have made the Teddy bear an iconic toy, universally loved and adored. Over the years, Steiff's focus on delighting children with realistic soft animals brought them renown around the world. Their innovations in airbrushing, choice materials and manufacturing have created toys that are prized in every corner of the globe.
Steiff continues to produce Teddy bears and other plush friends at their factory in the small town of Giengen, Germany. Steiff celebrated their 140th Anniversary in 2020 and continues to lead the world creating soft toys of the finest design and manufacturing. Their commitment to quality and excellence has brought joy to generations everywhere.
The Toy Shoppe & Steiff . . . Together Since 1975
Since our doors first opened in 1975, The Toy Shoppe has been your premier Steiff Store!
The very first box of merchandise that we opened for our shoppe in 1975 was filled with Steiff Teddy bears... it was exhilarating! We established The Toy Shoppe way back then to bring fine dolls and Teddy bears to our collectors. With their long tradition and commitment to excellence, Steiff bears are a natural fit for our shoppe.
In the early 1900s, Richard Steiff created the modern Teddy bear as we know and love him today. Steiff's continued innovation and commitment to quality has touched generations of children around the world.
Over the years, Steiff collectors in the USA and around the world have turned to The Toy Shoppe for their Steiff bears and animals. Our selection is unmatched. We have worked closely with Steiff both in North America and in Germany to design exclusive editions for our collectors that are compelling to Steiff collectors and Teddy bear lovers alike. We travelled to Giengen, Germany to search for inspiration deep within Steiff's archives, their treasure trove of past editions that reaches into their rich history. Maximilian began our Steiff Teddy bear family over a decade ago and since then we've created a wide array of Steiff editions exclusively for our collectors. From Traveller to Little Bear to GrandPapa to Chub-ling to Polar Cub to little Jocko, each one has brought a unique character of Steiff design often introducing innovative techniques or materials in their production. Collectors have adored our Toy Shoppe exclusives by Steiff!
We at The Toy Shoppe are honored to be the premier Steiff shoppe in North America. Our staff is very friendly and knowledgeable and eager to assist you. Just call us toll free 1 800 447-7995 and we will be glad to help you discover that perfect addition to your Teddy bear collection or that perfect Steiff gift for a child, a baby or even yourself!
