Winnie-The-Pooh Once There Was A Bear Hamper

Behind every Harrods bear lies a special story, but none could have predicted the remarkable tale of a honey-coloured teddy bought from the toy department 100 years ago. Gifted to a certain Christopher Robin – son of author A. A. Milne – the cuddly character went on to become Winnie-The-Pooh, whose trials and tribulations have entertained generations of children ever since. To mark the occasion, Once There Was a Bear – a book of exciting adventures from across our historic store and beyond – is joined by a Harrods 2021 bauble, hot chocolate, a musical tin of gingerbread biscuits and, naturally, a jar of honey, but it's surely the teddy who takes centre stage: Edward bear is handcrafted in England using the same traditional skills and materials as Christopher Robin's original, beloved best friend.
