Classic Teddy Bears

Corduroy, the beloved children's book character, celebrates his landmark 40th birthday in 2008 and Steiff has created the most fabulous Corduroy ever - a special limited edition with a gold-plated Button in Ear! Don Freeman's storybook character, Corduroy, a little bear with a missing button, is one of the best-loved bears in children's literature and his story has become a treasured childhood classic. Recognizable by his namesake green corduroy overalls, Corduroy's misadventures in the search for his button have entertained and endeared generations of readers with the innocence and universality of his wish for a home and friend to call his own. The timeless quality of Corduroy's story continues to appeal to children today as it has for 40 years ensuring his place in everyone's heart for years to come. Steiff designers have perfectly captured Corduroy's enchanting, endearing expression. As this famous bear turns 40, why not share the joy of Corduroy?
