When sheared (this usually occurs twice a year) it is called mohair. This special fur is very long and naturally wavy. Mohair is made from one of nature`s finest sources for natural fiber, the Angora goat. This gives our Teddy Bears their exceptional value and makes them to uncomparable and unique creatures with value-preserving character. Only very old and long-standing manufactures have still the knowledge today, how Teddy Bears can be stuffed with excelsior according to old example, so that nowadays excelsior stuffed Teddy Bears are hardly to find.įor almost 100 years, we have cultivated the tradition of stuffing our Teddy Bears with excelsior and we have preserved for us this knowledge untill today. Years of training, muscle strength and an artistic sense for styling are necessary to carry out this very time-consuming work. Worldwide there are only a handful of experts who are still familiar with the traditonal art of excelsior stuffing.
