Steiff Bears Purity Law and other awards of outstanding quality



"Only the best is good enough for our children" was the personal credo of Steiff Bears company founder, Margarete Steiff, more than one hundred years ago. Over the years, Steiff has applied this basic principle to all areas of the company.

It is their goal to create not only the most beautiful and best toy animals and teddy bears in the world, but also the safest. In order to live up to this high standard, Steiff Bears has developed a special quality control system to supervise the entire creative development and production process: from the initial idea for the product until the moment when a Steiff animal leaves the factory in Giengen, Germany.

Steiff stands behind their 'Steiff Purity Law'. This involves the voluntary examination of all of their products - not those imposed by any standards - because harmful substances of any type have absolutely no place in Steiff Bears products. This 'law' is comprised of ten rules from avoiding physiologically harmful colors for all dying and coloring processes to maintaining higher requirements for the workmanship of seams and applications than required by all international standards, to name just a few.
