Vintage Gabrielle Designs Paddington Bear 46cm 1970s England Label

Original vintage Paddington Bear by Gabrielle Designs, dating from the early 1970s and hand made in England. A larger example at approximately 46 cm, with classic long plush fur, distinctive profile, and early label to the back reading “This Bear © 1972 Gabrielle Designs Ltd.”

The bear is presented with a replacement coat, hat, and label, along with a marmalade sandwich in the pocket. The Wellington boots are original to the bear. Original clothing from this period is often found faded, worn, or affected by moth damage, so the updated coat and hat offer a clean and practical alternative while retaining key original elements.

A genuine early English-made Paddington with strong presence, ideal for collectors, interiors, or prop styling.
