ISABELLE COLLECTION GRETA - FROM THE LEADING LIGHTS SERIES
Size: 21" (53cm)
Limited Edition of 200
Greta is part of The Leading Lights Series, which was launched in the 2017 Isabelle Collection.
This bear is named after Greta Garbo, who was a Swedish film actress during the 1920's and 1930's. In 1999 the American film institute ranked Garbo as 5th on their list of the greatest female stars of classic Hollywood cinema. She retired from the screen, at the age of 35, after acting in 28 films. Audiences were mesmorised by her beauty and glamour, however, she never signed autographs or answered her mail, rarely gave interviews, never appeared at Oscar Ceremonies and avoided industry social functions. Her aversion to publicity and the press were genuine, as she said "as early as I can remember, I have wantd to be alone. I detest crowds, don't like many people".
Greta (along with RITA), is the biggest bear in the 2020 Isabelle Collection, which is quite apt, as her namesake was a big star!
She has a gorgeous multi-tonal wavy coat of rich ginger, brown and caramel and the muzzle has been trimmed to reveal the dark brown hand-stitched nose and mouth. Teardrop panda markings are under her emploring eyes. She has big sculpted feet, which have light fur inbetween the pads and toes, which is unusual, but a great feature. It's a good job she doesn't wear shoes, as she would struggle to find a pair to fit!
This beautiful panda is accessorised with an oversized organza bow and jewelled heart pendant, which add to her glamour. Greta is a shy bear, so will need lots of cuddles when she is being admired by everyone.
Look out for others in the series RITA, TED ASTAIRE and CURLY TEMPLE
