If this super-soft and good-looking creation has caught your eye, then it is worth getting acquainted with Steiff, the German label that’s part of this collaboration. Founded in the late 1800s, the brand was the first to invent the classic teddy bear, a mohair creation.

Similarly handmade in mohair, the Return To Tiffany Love Classic Teddy Bear boasts twinkling eyes and an embroidered face. The heartwarming teddy features signature touches from both heritage brands, including Tiffany blue paws and the iconic yellow Steiff button. TIFFANY & CO.
