This is a black and white mohair panda bear, made by Steiff in about 2000. It still has both its tags attached, proving its authenticity.
Steiff was founded in 1880 by Margarete Steiff, who designed the prototypes herself. However, it did not initially make teddy bears, something it began in 1902, and is now world famous for. The company remains popular to this day and its soft toys are known for their high quality.
