Merrythought bears are one of the most prestigious and oldest established English toy makers, having started production in 1930. In 2006 production of Merrythought bears ceased, but was restarted a year later with a much reduced range of collectable bears, punkies and gollies. Still handmade in Ironbridge in Shropshire, Merrythought bears are sought by collectors all over the world.
Taking a lead from the well known TY company, Merrythought bears have produced a super range of Cheeky Bears with different countries flags sewn into their feet - all of which are limited editions. The most popular range however is still the traditional 'gold' bears with pivoting arms and legs so they can be displayed sitting, standing or just plain cuddled! Made in a variety of sizes, these Merrythought bears are designed to be loved with their soft touch and conventional faces.
Merrythought Great British Bears is a collection of smaller bears that are dressed in a variety of outfits - there is a fireman, chef, footballer, golfer and many more to choose from. Every Merrythought bear is handmade, and consequently no two are ever quite the same - this adds to the appeal of these beautifully made British soft toys.
