"My inspiration for this bear was a picture of Margarete Steiff sitting in a cushioned chair in the period of commercialism and industrialization," says the designer. "This time was the time of the upcoming bourgeoisie which used historical elements to show their prosperity. This time was also the time of upcoming and self-confident women who started to study or create their own career and were against suppression and paternalism. This was the time of Margarete Steiff starting her career! So I try to convey the feeling of history and modernity together. "She further describes the bear as for women who want to feel like a princess" and those who "like to decorate modern flats with both modern elements and historical influences. I love the material which gives a feeling of castles, old time and prosperity as well as the black and sparkling bow." We're confident you'll love the contrast of old and new in Victoria, a new kind of bear from Steiff. It's something completely different for us.

Burgundy, 5-way jointed, surface washable, stuffed with synthetic filling material, with safety eyes, with gold-plated "Button in Ear".
