Teddy Bears have been with us for a long time, so it’s only natural that through the years we have seen makers come and go, whilst others have remained for the long haul. Many ‘old’ bears look a little worse for wear, but that’s their charm, telling of a life much loved and cuddled, whilst others have remained pristine, not quite aloof, but in need of that much needed care. These are classed as Antique/ Vintage Bears.
Over time there have been many wonderful and talented makers, not only British but German and American too (to name a few), so we may be lucky enough to offer to you some wonderful examples of genuine old bears, as and when they arise.
Being established since 1999 in Somersets Cheddar Gorge and County Town of Taunton. The Gorge Bear Co and World of Bears are renowned for being the worlds best and biggest teddy bear shop most people will have ever visited.

Steiff items never disappoint, they're good quality, and it is nice to get the gift box as this was for a gift.
In general the World of Bears is helpful and efficient, with a great range of lovely bears at a reasonable cost. We had a miscommunication which meant I waited a while for part of my order, but once that was sorted there were no problems. Packaging for overseas shippment could be a little better with more padding inside the box around the bears so they do not get damaged - the last 2 boxes I received have been squashed in one side but thankfully the bears were undamaged.
The item I ordered was delayed from the supplier, but Elaine was ever so friendly and kept me constantly updated, always making sure I was happy with how things were going!
Excellent all round service
So soft and cuddly, can't wait to give it to my friends new baby girl.
