Steiff is a German-based plush toy company known for its high quality and equally high prices. It was begun in 1880 by Margarete Steiff, who was later assisted by her brother Fritz. The toys began as elephants, and were originally a design Steiff found in a magazine and sold as pincushions to her friends. However, children began playing with them, and in the years following she went on to design many other successful animal-themed toys for children, such as dogs, cats and pigs.

- Steiff is a German-based plush toy company known for its high quality and equally high prices. It was begun in 1880 by Margarete Steiff, who was later assisted by her brother Fritz. The toys began as elephants, and were originally a design Steiff found in a magazine and sold as pincushions to her friends. However, children began playing with them, and in the years following she went on to design many other successful animal-themed toys for children, such as dogs, cats and pigs. She designed and made most of the prototypes herself. The Steiff's nephew Richard joined in 1897 and gave the company an enormous boost in popularity by creating the teddy bear in 1902. In 1907, Steiff manufactured 974,000 bears, and has been increasing its output ever since. The Steiff company motto, as styled by Margarete Steiff, is "Only the best is good enough for children". Steiff products are subject to meticulous testing and inspection. They are required to be highly flame resistant and, among other things, smaller pieces such as eyes must be able to resist considerable tension, wear and tear, etc. The most common materials used in Steiff toys are alpaca, felt, mohair, and woven plush. Eyes are generally made of wood or glass, and the stuffing is commonly wood shavings or polyester fibers. A large amount of the work is done by hand, from design sketches to airbrushed paint. The final touch on any Steiff toy is the trademark "button in ear" (assuming the animal has one; in any case they'll find a spot for it). The famed "button in ear" was devised by Margarete's nephew Franz in 1904, to keep counterfeits from being passed off as authentic Steiff toys. It is metal and originally had the symbol of an elephant, later replaced by the name "Steiff". The button is still used to distinguish Steiff toys from fakes. Some special toys have both the elephant and the name.
- Fil:Nachbildung 55PB Steiff Museum Giengen. jpg Nallebjörn på Steiff-Museum Margarete Steiff GmbH är en tysk leksakstillverkare. Företaget grundades 1880 av Margarete Steiff. Ursprungligen tillverkade Margarete Steiff nåldynor, i form av en elefant, till sina vänner. När det visade sig att barn började använda elefanterna som leksaker började hon med framgång skapa leksaker på tema djur. T. ex. hundar, katter och grisar. Hon designade och tillverkade de flesta prototyperna på egen hand. Sonen Richard gick in i firman 1897 och år 1902 inledde han tillverkning av björnar av tyg. Nallebjörnarna blev snabbt populära i USA och fick där namnet teddybjörn efter president Roosevelt. 1907 tillverkade Steiff 974.000 nallebjörnar och produktionen har ökat sedan dess. Enligt Margarete Steiffs motto "Endast det bästa är gott nog för barnen", genomgår produkterna genomgripande tester och kontroller. De vanligaste materialen som används i leksaker från Steiff är alpacka, filt, mohair och vävd plysch. Nallarnas ögon är i allmänhet gjorda av trä eller glas och fyllningen utgörs vanligtvis från träprodukter eller polyesterfiber. En stor del av tillverkningen sker för hand. Varje djur från Steiff har en "knapp i örat" vilken var ämnad för att skilja Steiff original från kopior. Det var Margaretes brorson Franz som 1904 kom på idén att fästa knappen av metall, med en elefantsymbol, på leksakerna. Senare har elefanten på knappen ersatts med namnet "Steiff". Knappen fästs fortfarande på leksaker från Steiff.
