Please note that the majority of our items are vintage and therefore have tales to tell unless stated otherwise. Therefore, please look at pictures, descriptions and measurements provided as they give you the best idea of the story this item has to tell.
* Please note that when you buy a vintage product, the dimensions may vary slightly from a new one depending on previous care and storage.
Q: Is this Burberry Teddy Bear a toy or a collectible? A: It is best treated as a fashion collectible inspired by Burberry’s Thomas Bear. Many editions are intended for collectors aged 14+ and are not designed as children’s toys. If yours includes a clasp, it can be displayed or used as a decorative bag charm; otherwise, enjoy it as a display piece.
Q: What are the measurements of this piece? A: The height is approximately 17 cm. Please refer to the Measurements on this page for the most accurate dimensions and photos for scale.
Q: What materials are typically used on Burberry teddy bears? A: Thomas Bear editions are often crafted in Burberry Check cashmere or wool blends with a soft polyester fill, and many versions feature polished or brushed metal hardware. Exact materials vary by release; consult the photos and product information on this page for this item’s specifics.
Q: Do the arms and legs move? A: Many Thomas Bear versions feature moveable arms and legs for posing. Check the photos of this piece to confirm the limb construction and any hardware details.
Q: How should I clean and care for it? A: Lightly surface-clean only. Use a soft, barely damp cloth to spot clean and avoid soaking or machine washing. Keep away from perfumes, oils, and prolonged sunlight to minimise fading. If your bear includes cashmere or wool elements, follow gentle wool/cashmere care principles. Allow it to air dry completely before storing.
Q: What is the best way to store or display it? A: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Keeping it in its presentation box with acid-free tissue helps preserve shape and reduce dust. If displaying on a shelf or using as a charm, avoid heavy friction against rough surfaces to minimise wear.
Q: How can I authenticate a Burberry teddy bear? A: Look for high-quality stitching, neat check alignment, premium materials, and crisp engraved branding on any metal clasp or ring. Packaging quality can also help. Every item at A Retro Tale is carefully authenticated by our in-house experts; contact us if you would like additional photos or details.
Q: What product information is included with this item? A: This piece includes its original presentation box, as listed under product information on this page. If an item is not listed there, it is not included—feel free to ask us to confirm.
Q: Can I attach it to my bag or keys? A: If your piece has a metal clasp or keyring, it can be attached to most bag handles or D-rings. Avoid overloading the clasp with heavy key sets and keep the bear clear of rain to preserve the fabric and detailing.
