Walt Disney himself chose Steiff to make some of the world's first Minnie Mouse toys in 1932. The tradition he started continues with this interpretation of Disney's iconic Minnie Mouse character as only Steiff could make her. Best of all, this latest version of Minnie is not just for collectors, but for all ages! She is perfect for ages 0 through 100!
As part of the Soft Cuddly Friends Collection of toys, Minnie wears the special "Disney Originals" label, indicating the toy status as part of Steiff's long and prestigious partnership with the Walt Disney company. Like all Steiff creations, Minnie is lovingly, individually handmade from the finest, softest, and cuddliest materials available.
And since no one can resist the charms of this marvelous mouse, she is the ideal gift for everyone on your list! (You'll also want to get Mickey, too!)
• Made in Cambodia
• Dimensions: 4.7 x 6.7 x 12 in
The "Button in Ear" - a worldwide trademark of unmistakable quality
In 1904 Franz Steiff, Margarete’s nephew was looking for a way to protect Steiff products from imitation. His great idea later became the epitome of quality and handiwork: a metal button in the ear as a protection label. Initially engraved with an elephant motive, the metal button soon wore the trademark and therefore became inseparable with the brand.
"Steiff - Button in Ear" is a world wide renowned and unique trademark, which still stands for quality, richness of ideas and entrepreneurial spirit.
Please note, the button in ear is NOT removable.
