Steiff Galerie Berlin

The large bear with the characteristic button in its ear invites strollers on Kurfürstendamm into the specialty store for high-quality plush toys. “Our big brown bear is photographed more often than some celebrities,” the friendly saleswomen at the Steiff Gallery report with a smile.

If you follow this invitation and enter the bright shop, your heart will open up, and you’ll be overwhelmed by childhood memories. Suddenly, it’s back – the strong yearning to hug one of the fluffy bears with the button in its ear.

On Ku’damm, not only during Christmas time, an entire plush toy menagerie awaits a new home: friendly giraffes, lions with shaggy manes, and cute little monkeys. The stuffed animals are certainly not inexpensive but are very well made from predominantly natural materials.

While the children rush to the small plush zoo, mothers look for stylish children’s clothing with the Steiff logo.
