Gabrielle Designs was a small English company that made Paddington bears from 1972 until the late 1990's.
I have a Paddington Bear from the 1980's. He is a little bit tired and worn and has lost his hat and label that used to be attached to his coat. He is a hard stuffed Paddington. Many of the later produced Paddington's are soft stuffed.
His boots have paw prints on the sole and PB printed in reverse!
This Paddington Bear was made in Britain.
How cute are his wellington boots?!
A teeny weeny hand sized Paddington
Printed on the red boots are "Made in Korea". "China" is printed on the blue pair of boots.
