Hullo! I've arrived! I'm here!

It is with great pleasure that I would like to introduce you to the latest member of my ever growing bear family...

 

Meet Paddington Bear!

 

Now, I know what you are going to say... and the answer is, yes. Yes, I do already own several other Paddington Bears, not least of all my beloved Paddington Bear (Paddy) who was a gift from my Great Aunt when I was two years old (many years ago). However, this Paddington is different, and as my friend Mummy Marian (Marian Kloon (on and off)) says: "There's always room for one more bear."

 

Arriving from Merrythought in Shropshire, just in time for the release of Paddington 3 in the cinemas, is Paddington - the Movie Edition!

 

An exceptionally charming and true to character recreation of Paddington, who is cherished around the world for his kind nature….and fondness of marmalade sandwiches! Entirely British-made, this Paddington Bear has been designed to bring a lifetime of joy and companionship, and is the ultimate memento of the Paddington movie franchise.

 

Beautifully hand-crafted in Merrythought’s historic Ironbridge factory, Paddington combines the finest natural materials with four generations of the very best British teddy bear making expertise. His intricate design and friendly expression accurately and beautifully capture the personality of the movie character. He is made of rich-mahogany woven mohair plush and soft wool felt. Paddington is dressed in a gold-trim pure wool felt hat, along with a replica of his iconic duffle coat, featuring wooden toggle detailing. He is finished with an endearing hand-stitched smile and accompanied by Paddington’s famous ‘Please look after this bear. Thank you.’ luggage tag and ‘Wanted On Voyage’ leather suitcase.

 

Created by Merrythought as a Special Edition, Paddington - the Movie Edition is individually numbered as part of a limited worldwide release. I am fortunate enough to have number 18.
