Auction finds are a major source of inspiration for the designers at Steiff. They follow the Teddy bear market closely, attending auctions and collecting catalogues - always on the lookout for wonderful rarities to reintroduce or reinterpret for our devoted collectors. The inspiration for Johann was found in an country auction. He had everything our collectors - and our designers - look for in a classic Teddy. First of all, his face is truly inviting and endearing. He has a hand stitched nose and sparkling black eyes. His nose is hand-stitched with black floss in the traditional Steiff style. His body, too, is very typically "Steiff". Discover Johann - just the way our auction watchers did - and we think you'll fall in love with him, too.
Made of the finest russet mohair and fully jointed, Johann has a tilt growler and gold plated button in the ear. From a limited edition of 1,500 pieces worldwide.
