Rupert - The Centenary Edition by Steiff

On 8^th November 1920, one of the most enduring children’s characters in British fiction made his first appearance in the Daily Express. A small bear was sent to the shops by his mother. Unfortunately, he got lost on the way, but that’s when his adventures really began…

Now, in honour of his 100^th anniversary, Steiff – inventors of the teddy bear – have created a very special centenary tribute to Nutwood’s favourite son, Rupert Bear.

Rupert Bear’s pure white fur is gloriously soft to the touch. His bright boot-button eyes sparkle with joy and he has a delightful hand-stitched friendly expression. He’s dressed, as always, in his iconic yellow check trousers, matching scarf, and bright red jumper. And don’t miss his charming white lace-up shoes!

Pinned to Rupert’s jumper is a special centenary pin badge. Plate in precious 22ct gold, it’s been created exclusively for this limited edition and comes completely free of charge.

Rupert Bear – The Centenary Edition by Steiff is from a limited edition of only 5,000 pieces worldwide.

Actual size is 11" (28cm) standing.
