Edward - Christopher Robin's Teddy Bear 18"
Edward is a simply beautiful replica of the teddy bear who famously inspired AA Milne's Winnie the Pooh stories. Originally created by Farnell in 1921, Edward was brought to life again as the star of major feature film 'Goodbye Christopher Robin'.
Purchased from Harrods by Daphne Milne for the first birthday of her son, Christopher Robin, 'Edward' bear and his owner formed a unique bond and became the best of friends. However, following a trip to London Zoo the young boy later renamed his bear after the resident black bear 'Winnepeg' or Winnie for short. Christopher's father, AA Milne, was enamoured by the wonderful partnership he witnessed between a boy and his bear, and decided to pen stories about their eventful journey through life together.
Hand-crafted in England using the same traditional skills and materials as Christopher Robin's original Edward bear, this handsome chap features a rich, antique golden mohair coat and peachy-beige pure woollen felt paws. His deep amber eyes show a longing to be loved, which together with a hand-embroidered nose and endearing smile, give him a quintessential charm that can only be found in a teddy bear of such timeless design and heritage. True to the original, the 18" sized Edward also 'growls' when tipped.

Authenticity and Quality
The British Emporium is an atmospheric place for those who value authenticity and quality. It is worth stopping by, even just to escape the tourist bustle and experience the subtle aura of traditional British shopping.
Lovely Shopping experience!
Bakewell is gorgeous and this shop had the most amazing picture which I had to buy to capture my time here! Lucy who served us was an absolute charming young lady who made the experience even better! Great shop, wonderful staff and a beautiful location! Wholeheartedly recommend!
Unique Gifts
I love this store! I always find really unique gifts here and everything is beautifully displayed. Staff are friendly and attentive. I fell in love with this stunning floral wrapping paper to use for my Christmas gifts this year.
Delightful to deal with
I was sent the wrong hat but the mix up was put right by Jo in a few days. She kept in touch with me personally and was delightful to deal with. My replacement rain hat is well made and flattering and I am about to order another in maroon.
Chosen with care
Such a lovely little shop. It’s cosy, welcoming, and full of beautiful mugs, plates, and unique pottery pieces. You can tell everything’s been chosen with care. It just has such a warm, happy feel to it. I’ll definitely be popping back in.
Extremely Friendly
Could not reccomend more for online purchases, quick and easy...
I’ll be back!
I chanced upon The British Emporium whilst spending the weekend in Bakewell, Derbyshire. The staff in store were super friendly and helpful and very knowledgeable about their stock. I purchased a waxed cotton waterproof hat. Good looks and a great price.
Fantastic shop
We called in when we were staying in Over Haddon, and the lady in the shop was very friendly and chatty. We bought a few items in shop, but really liked the unusual coat hooks, as it suited us both very well. As soon as we got home, we ordered it online, and 3 days later, it was delivered, safe and sound.
Wonderful, friendly people
Always make a point of visiting this shop when we’re in the area. The items for sale are lovely but the real value is the quality of the people who work there. Such wonderful, friendly people who make the experience so much better.
Delightful dog-friendly shop
I had a lovely chat to the person serving me and my fiancée was delighted with her sheep felting craft kit.
Really outstanding customer service
I gave them a call and lovely Sue went out of her way to ensure the item I needed got to me ASAP. It arrived with perfect timing, beautifully wrapped, ready to give as a gift. Thankyou so much British Emporium.
