Big Bear Karl

Steiff, the famous German maker of stuffed animals, is producing the limited-edition (2,500) Karl Lagerfeld teddy bear, which will be launched in Neiman Marcus in September for $1,500. Each boasts a signature Steiff gold button in the ear and five pivoting joints - an innovation Steiff unveiled at the 1903 Leipzig Toy Fair. Lagerfeld calls the Hamburg company’s longevity “incredible,” but he’s hardly surprised the toymaker dialed his number. SOURCE
