The German stuffed animal manufacturer Steiff will produce Kirby plush toys, which will be shipped to Japan in the 2025-2026 Winter season.
A beloved downtown Sarasota restaurant with 10 years of history is permanently closing this month after hosting a free farewell concert on Friday.
The first ever stuffed animal was created around 1880 by a German seamstress named Margarete Steiff. Except, it wasn’t a stuffed animal she made, but a small pincushion in the shape of an elephant.
Steiff creates exclusive collector’s bears, "Elsie" and "Ernst," to mark Leica’s 100th anniversary of pioneering 35mm photography.
