The Merrythought Bear By Merrythought
New For 2026
Made from The Finest High Quality Brown Mohair.
Height 46 cm / 18 inches
Entirely British made, this collectable heirloom has been designed to bring a lifetime of joy, celebrating family, kindness, and belonging
Designed by Florence Attwood, The Merrythought Bear was one of her earliest pattern designs, and was described as 'feather-light and beautifully finished', and made from 'Old Gold' mohair.
Honouring the details of the original bear, our recreation brings this important teddy bear back to life using the same traditional skills and materials, and is hand-crafted from wavy golden mohair plush, paired with chestnut-coloured pure wool felt paws featuring hand-stitched claw detailing. True to the 'unequalled quality' of the 1930's character, this timeless fully-jointed teddy bear is adorned with a traditional off-centre scarlet satin bow, and 'growls' when tipped.
As with each character in Merrythought’s Heritage Collection, The Merrythought Bear features an authentic replica of our earliest ‘hygienic toys’ label, and has been individually numbered as a Special Edition. Presented in a pure cotton dust bag with a Certificate of Authenticity..
5-way jointed with Safety Eyes and stuffed Recycled polyester (PET) Recycled glass beads, and Surface Washable.
This Bear is part of Merrythought Exclusive range.
Comes in a presentation Bag with certificate.
