Who says only kids can play with teddy bears? I am sure many adults would like to have this limited-edition Karl Lagerfeld teddy bear by famous toy maker Steiff (button in ear). And for $1,500 each, I don’t think many kids can afford it anyway.
The couture teddy bear is dressed as the larger than life fashion designer in iconic black glasses and black suit. It even has a belt with the KL initials logo. It’s a pity that the famous hand fan Karl Lagerfeld usually holds is missing…
The special Lagerfeld Steiff teddy bear has a limited edition of 2,500 pieces. The $1,500 adult teddy is set to launch at Neiman Marcus stores this September.
