Meet Theodore – c. 1902

Theodore takes us back to the very beginnings of the teddy bear. His story was inspired by a famous moment in 1902, when US President Theodore Roosevelt refused to shoot a captured bear during a hunting trip. The story captured hearts across America and inspired a Brooklyn shopkeeper to create a stuffed bear in his honour, affectionately naming it “Teddy’s Bear”.

With his beautifully soft golden fur and timeless vintage charm, Theodore is a little piece of teddy bear history made to cuddle, treasure and keep.
