Margarete Steiff (1847-1909) started making soft toys in 1880.
Her nephew Richard Steiff made detailed drawings of zoo animals, including bears, which were modified for designs suitable for the Steiff range. This was the key to their success! Quick to respond to the Teddy Rooseveldt incident, they exhibited at the 1903 Leipzig Toy Fair and a buyer from New York ordered 3,000 bears to sell in his department store. Steiff made about 975,000 bears each year - an amazing number!
Other manufacturers tried to emulate Steiff's success, but the Steiff name remains associated with top-quality bears.
