— New friends for autumn from Steiff
Autumn... so many new beginnings and transitions. The
leaves change colour, the days grow cooler, and children start
their new school year. And, of course, Steiff has many new
and exciting products for collectors looking for a new
“Friend for Life”.
Cats make wonderful house pets and this cute feline would
love to call your home hers as well. Minka sacred Birman
cat is the next issue in Steiff’s series of “Masterpiece” collectibles,
singularly handcrafted by the company’s most talented
and experienced craftspeople from the very finest materials.
Minka is white and grey woven fur, 40 cm in size, and in a
— 10 —
lying position. Her realistic face is detailed with large blue
pupil eyes. The airbrushed soles are made out of a very soft
boa fabric that feels typical for cats. They are coloured in
soft pink with a grey shadow around the paws. The nose has
a very special folding technique that was developed exclusively
for this cat. Minka is available in a worldwide edition
size of 2,000 pieces.
Steiff is excited to introduce two replica Teddy bears this
autumn. One is based on the very rare and desirable 1905/1906
design such as the famous Teddy Girl. He is 45 cm in size,
shows a centre seam and examines the world through shiny
shoe-button eyes made of wood.
Steiff’s Autumn Collection features limited editions, replicas,
yellow tag items, and new pieces in the Steiff Selection range.
Here, three new Teddies frolic in the attic, looking for treasure.
(1906 Replica Teddy bear, EAN 403064, limited to 750 pieces
and his two cousins Josef and Jakob, EAN 038556 and 039935,
each limited to 1,500 pieces)
