Merrythought
The story
of Merrythought began in 1930 when Gordon Holmes, owned of a mohair spinning
mill in Yorkshire, recognized an opportunity to make beautiful soft toys from
this special fleece. His wish was to create the very finest teddy bears that would
be cherished by children and adults for years to come.
Gordon
discovered a beautiful brick foundry building in the heart of Shropshire and
with the help of a small team of skilled local seamstresses, Merrythought was
born. The original workshop remains the home of Merrythought to this day, an
enchanting place where each soft toy is expertly brought to life using luxury
materials and traditional craftsmanship that has been handed down the four
generations of the family business.
Only soft
toys of the highest quality are allowed to carry the trusted Merrythought
label. The utmost care and attention to detail is therefore ensured in
everything that they do, right down to the hand embroidered nose and delightful
smile that makes each teddy bear so unique.
A Merrythought
is not just a teddy bear, but an exquisite piece of British heritage and a
loyal companion through life.
