Elephant

Fabric animals as toys? A new era in children’s toys... When the first little elephant from Margarete Steiff’s workshop was sold in 1880, this paved the way for a new worldwide phenomenon – soft toys made of plush. This was the stuff of countless children’s dreams, with these toy animals playing a central role in their imaginations. As well as being invitingly cuddly, they are companions, comforters and a constant source of ideas. Since then, millions of friends for life have made the journey from the Swabian town of Giengen to new homes all over the world. They live their own personal stories and create lasting memories. They are loved, cherished, occasional forgotten, found again, collected and inherited. This wonderful elephant in 22 cm size is made of the finest grey mohair. The corners of the eyes and the inner ears are produced using complex airbrushing. As well as the tail. The soles are made of velvet soft felt. The attractive saddlecloth on its back is a special decorative touch. It is edged with trim and decorated with a pompom. Our elephant knows it’s going to turn heads and make a wonderful collector’s item for those who love the very special.
