About Steiff

Founded in 1880 by Margarete Steiff, the German company Steiff is widely regarded as the world’s premier maker of high-quality plush animals. Steiff revolutionized the toy industry in 1902 with the creation of the first jointed teddy bear, a design that helped ignite the global teddy bear phenomenon. To ensure authenticity, Steiff introduced its trademark “Knopf im Ohr” (“Button in Ear”) in 1904—a feature that has remained a defining hallmark of the brand for more than a century.

Known for exceptional craftsmanship, Steiff continues to produce animals using traditional methods, including hand-finishing, genuine mohair, and meticulously detailed design. Their Classic and Replica series honor historic patterns from the company’s early decades, appealing to collectors who value heritage, quality, and artistry. Today, Steiff remains one of the most respected and collectible names in the world of plush animals and toy history.
