2013 Collection Traditional & Limited Edition Teddy Bears Merrythought has been hand-making the quintessential English teddy bear in the World Heritage Site of Ironbridge, Shropshire, since 1930. Within our Victorian factory our talented team of teddy bear makers use traditional methods and premium materials to craft the finest bears in the world. We believe that nothing compares to a Merrythought; being handmade in England, each bear has an individual personality, irresistible charm and superior quality that can last a lifetime. All sizes are approximate. www.merrythought.co.uk Traditional Teddy Bears Merrythought’s 2013 Traditional Collection offers a wonderful range of classically designed teddy bears, such as the timeless ‘London Gold’, alongside some lovely new characters including ‘Chester’, ‘My Merrythought Bear’ and a fabulous renaissance of the famous ‘Beefeater’ and ‘Guardsman’ teddy bears.
