Michael Bond based Paddington bear on a lonely Teddy bear he noticed on a shelf in a London store on Christmas Eve 1956, which he bought as a present for his wife. The bear inspired Bond to write a story; A Bear Called Paddington - first published on 13 October 1958. Little could he have known then how many people from around the world would come to know, love and adore his small bear from darkest Peru.

"Paddington is eternally optimistic and always comes back for more, no matter how many times his hopes are dashed, " It's simply the joy of a little bear who is an outsider getting into scrapes and mishaps - always with the best of intentions - and coming out on top every time. Michael Bond To celebrate the marmalade-loving BAFT nominated bear's 60th anniversary Steiff are honoured and thrilled to offer two winning designs. Our Second Paddington stands an impressive 3ft 3 - Yes he's Life Size and thrilled to be larger than life in every way.

He is complete with his functional suitcase housing his essential jar of Steiff marmalade and marmalade sandwich. After all "a wise bear always keeps a marmalade sandwich in his hat in case of emergencies".
