The origin of plush toys

It is said that there was a grocer who could be a tailor in a small town in America at the beginning of 19 century. One day, on a whim, he found some broken sheepskins and sewed them together to make a lovely bear. All the neighbors like it. He had a brainwave. Isn't this a good way to make money? So he collected a lot of broken sheepskins and made a batch of teddy bears. Sell it in the store. He also named the bear "Teddy", but it sold well. After a long period of market operation, it gradually evolved and later became popular in Europe. Nowadays, teddy bears have become well-known traditional toys in Europe and America.

Earlier, the shapes of plush toys were limited, just some toys such as bears, puppies and kittens. Over the centuries, not only has the inverted shape changed greatly, but almost all animals in nature can be designed as plush toys, and they have developed from the initial ornamental toys to today's plush toys that can walk, move, talk and sing. In addition, there are many advanced stuffed animals, large wild animals with the same proportion as real animals. You can see it in the toy store. There is a company in Germany that specializes in designing and manufacturing high-end toys. STEIFF is an old professional plush toy manufacturer, which has maintained the original style of returning to nature in the traditional reverse, and has made great innovations in fabric appearance. Its scale is not the largest, but in terms of brand awareness, in the plush filling production industry, no one can compare. Of course, the sales price in its market is also amazing. For example, a 7-inch fluffy rabbit costs as much as $70. However, for this kind of variety of the same size, the average company's nuclear price is only 15 USD at most, so the disparity in price is mainly due to the brand effect.
