The philosophy of company founder Margarete Steiff, ‘For children, only the best is good enough’, is still the heart of the activities of the traditional company, located in Giengen. For this reason, Steiff is celebrating the Teddy bear’s 120th birthday with a special charity initiative “To bear a helping hand”, the proceeds of which will go to the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF). Limited-edition Teddy bears created for this project are designed by celebrities and well-known brands, thus making each one a one-of-a-kind treasure. Fashion and Accessory Design students from Pforzheim University School of Design as well as the students of the Faculty of Textiles at the TEXOVERSUM of Reutlingen University teamed up with the international personalities to create the bears. Each one of them is absolutely unique! Bid here on the Teddy of Mercedes-Benz Chief Design Officer Gorden Wagener - a design that embodies the new kind of modern luxury and combines the clear forms of Mercedes-Benz with the warmth of the Steiff Teddy bear!
