An exclusive 100th anniversary tribute to the original fictional bear
In 1920, one of the most lasting children's characters in British fiction made his debut (初次露面). A small bear was sent to the shops. Unfortunately he got lost on the way... and that's when his adventures really began!
Now, in honor of his 100th anniversary, Steiff, the inventor of the teddy bear, has created a very special gift to Rupert, the little bear from Nutwood.
Rupert is hand-made and gloriously soft to the touch. His bright boot-button eyes sparkle with joy and his friendly expression has been perfectly hand-sewn. Of course he's wearing his iconic outfit of a bright red jumper, yellow check trousers, a matching scarf and charming lace-up shoes.
Pinned to Rupert's jumper is a special centenary pin badge. Plated in precious 22ct gold, it's been created exclusively for this limited edition and comes completely free of charge with your bear.
Rupert — The Centenary Edition can be yours for just five interest-free monthly instalments (分期付款) of £ 45 (plus £ 1. 50 postage and handling)---a total price of £ 225 (plus £ 7. 50 postage and handling). If you are not completely satisfied, simply return him within 90 days for a FULL refund-including our postage and handling charge!
