Vintage Christmas Teddy Bears


There is a beauty to vintage Christmas teddy bears that is loved by children and adults alike. These little soft toy darlings are generally produced annually by higher-class retailers in limited numbers so as to become collectable. Even if you do not desire a collection of Christmas teddies, imagine the delight on the face of an older child if they open a present on Christmas morning to find a Xmas teddy bear from the year of their birth. We favour Harrods bears as they are all named and have the year of their birth stitched into the sole of their left foot, although on occasion we do manage to procure a Georgio of Beverly Hills bear for your delectation. Please enjoy.
