95th Anniversary Teddy Bear by Merrythought - 30cm

To celebrate their 95th Anniversary in 2025, Merrythought have created a very special teddy bear to mark this momentous milestone.

Marrying Sapphire (45th) and Golden (50th) anniversary years, this wonderful bear is hand-crafted in the original Ironbridge factory from two tones of the finest golden mohair, combined with pure cotton velvet. The stunning anniversary colours subtly feature throughout each bear’s design and a simplified version of the new 95th anniversary logo has been embroidered upon the bear’s left paw, and special 95th anniversary foot label stitched to the other paw, which is currently exclusive to these unique bears. Each bear wears a luxurious satin double bow, in the centre of which is a 24 carat gold-plated pendant of the iconic Merrythought wishbone which has been embellished with sapphire crystals.

This bear is individually numbered as part of a limited edition of 1930 pieces (the year the company was founded) and comes presented in a luxury 95th Anniversary gift box with a certificate of authenticity.

• Size: 30cm / 12 inches
