In 1880 an expert seamstress from Giengen, made and bestowed a gift upon her sister-in-law, of a hand made felt pin cushion, in the guise of an elephant - the very first soft toy! This elephant grew in popularity with the local village children, who eagerly requested more. On December 29th 1880, this elephant and other similar designs went into production, and were made for sale. This woman was Appollonia Margarete Steiff, a wheelchair bound polio victim and the innovative founder and creator behind the name that epitomises, quality, passion and craftsmanship - 'Steiff' an internationally known brand, renown for it famous trademark 'button in the ear'. Steiff teddy bears is still a thriving business today, with more wonderful and elaborate creations, that awe and charm every collector and fan

In 2005 an new company was launched by bear enthusiasts Charlotte "Charlie" and William "Will" Morris. What began as a small dream, has now achieved international acclaim. In less then 4 years they had stormed the market with their lovable, fully jointed characterful bears. Now in 2012 it is a company with global domination in the bear market.

What makes this company so special, is the product that they produce. Each bear is made with as much love and attention to detail as is truly possible. Every bear is fully jointed with it's characteristic wobbly head, and so much charm in their endearing, open faces. They all have different names and are designed completely different from each other, ie size, plush length, texture, colour and pattern as well as type. They wear necklaces, some with buttons, beads and bells as well as the classic ribbon bow. A small selection are Limited Edition plush, making them a must have for the plush collector. They contain beans in their lower parts of their limbs as well as in their bellies not only to give a good "weight" but a good cuddly feel too. This is what has made them very popular. Some collect names of their family and friends, others gift them to those that share the same name. Most just fall in love with them, then one just leads to another! Their popularity is just so overwhelming and continues to grow daily!

Established in 1930 in Ironbridge, Shropshire by two spinning mill owners W.G. Holmes and G.H. Laxton, with the assistance of C.J.Rendell (then Production Chief at Chad Valley) and A.C. Janisch (then Head of Sales at J.K. Farnell), Merrythought was born. Here, they had the talent, of two established and experienced business men in the soft toy industry plus the experience and the know-how to weave and create the highest quality mohair for these soft toys.

They were also joined at this time by a designer from Chad Valley, a truly remarkable woman called Florence Upton. (Florence was a deaf - mute and had attended school with the daughter of C.J. Rendell). Using her talent she was able to translate artists drawings into patterns and single handedly designed all 32 patterns for Merrythougts Premier line in 1930. Up until her death in 1949, she was still Chief Designer, and some of her original patterns are still in use today.

After creating the London Gold Range, The Cheekies and the Punkies, and 74 years after first opening their doors, Merrythought closed in 2006. Due to public demand they re-opened again in 2007, albeit on a smaller scale. Focusing on both traditional and collectable teddy bears.

Today Merrythought remains a 4th generation run company, that for 80 years has been hand making toys in England, and is still responsible, for some of "Britain's finest soft toys"

Founded in New Jersey, in 1963 by a Toy Sale Representative, who decided to have a go at designing his own products, and named after it's founder Russell Berrie, Russ Berrie was established. His first range, the "Fuzzy Wuzzies", hit the shelves in 1964. By 1966, Russ Berrie had exceeded over £1 million in annual sales.

Their 10th anniversary saw expansion out to California, and by the late 1970's, they had gone international. In 1982 Russ Berrie had the accolade of being one of the top 500, growing private business companies in the U.S. 1984 saw them go public, by trading shares on the New York Stock Exchange.

In the 1990's, Troll Mania had gripped the world, with Russ being the premier producer. This saw the company's sales double, yet ironically by 1992, when the bubble burst on this "fad of the day", lost interest cost them £2 million.

This do not discourage, as Russ Berrie began to move into Home Decor, Teddy Bears, Cards and Impulse items, producing their own lines. 1995 saw the launch of the "Bears from the Past" collection, and in 2001, they were reinstated as one of the best 200 companies in the U.S.

Russ Berrie was a very generous man known for his sponsorship and financial donations to worthwhile causes, and in 1998, he was listed as the 34th most Generous Philanthropist in the country.

Sadly, Russ Berrie passed away in December 2002, aged just 69 years. The company continued to honour the memory of their founding father, by striving to meet, the high standard of excellence, that he had upheld for over the last 40 years.

In 2011 Russ Berrie filed for bankruptcy.

Their slogan - Russ "Make Someone Happy" still lives on
