Steiff is a German toy company founded in 1882 by Margarete Steiff. It is best known for its high-quality stuffed animals, particularly its iconic teddy bears. The company was the first to create a stuffed bear with movable limbs, which quickly became popular among children and collectors alike. The signature Steiff teddy bears feature a distinctive button in the ear, symbolizing their authenticity and craftsmanship. Each bear is made from soft materials and is designed to be both durable and safe for children. Over the years, Steiff has expanded its product line to include a variety of plush animals and toys.
