2017 Rare Life Size Special Limited Edition Paddington Bear

RARE LIFE SIZE PADDINGTON BEAR

Paddington is 106cm tall and three-way jointed (arms and head). He has been sewn from a decadent, curly chestnut mohair with a contrasting cream muzzle and cocoa ears. He has two tone brown, safety eyes, with a hand stitched cocoa nose and mouth, whilst delicate airbrush shading has bought depth and detail, bringing life to his beloved character. Now for the details – he wears a red bush hat (from Peru) and a blue duffle coat (from the Browns), with two front pockets and three wooden toggles as fasteners. He hood has been lined with a beige based tartan (the same as in the film and the same as all Steiff Paddington’s released since 2014). He also wears the famous “Please look after this bear” label around his neck. Now down to the suitcase. His faux leather case has corner protectors and a “wanted on voyage” sticker incorporated into the design, with a working handle and slide latch. Within the suitcase the most valuable of commodities … a jar of marmalade (glass jar with faux marmalade and cotton top), alongside a faux plush and wool felt marmalade sandwich
