This teddy bear doesn’t have diamond eyes and a gold nose like the one offered by Selfridges last year, but still, it asks for a whopping half a million pounds.

But the buyer of the cuddly toy will also get the bear’s home - a beamed cottage in Lavenham, England – one of the country’s most picturesque medieval villages.

Mr McKinlay, 73, a retired butcher and farmer, said: “It is time for me to move on so I decided that Teddy might help me sell the house.

The three-foot bear belongs to homeowner Walt McKinlay’s daughter and is now sitting on a chair next to the window of the property with a “Buy Me” sign.

The bear is sewn entirely out of genuine U.S. dollar bills. No eyes, no mouth, just old dollar bills.

The bear is 12″ tall and sells for a whopping $1,250 (far more than what is sewn on his body). Source: Vivre

“When the famous toy brand, Margarete Steiff, allows itself to produce the first ever “couture” teddy bear, it’s with the master of today’s luxury Karl Lagerfeld.

A unique and unusual collaboration that shows us, one more time, how Lagerfeld is always on the avant garde. Steiff keeps on the innovation and brings you the first teddy bear made for older kids.” Via Colette.

The teddy bear comes wearing the famous black suit and sunglasses, an outfit by the designer that one got used to over the years. And of course the famous button in the ear, that all Steiff plush toys carry, is also present. You can expect this to be a collectors item.
