Certificate of Authenticity


Certificate of Authenticity Program

At Herrington Teddy Bears, every piece we create is more than a product—it is a collectible with a story, a history, and a legacy. Our Certificate of Authenticity Program has been designed to recognize and validate that value.

What Is the Certificate of Authenticity?

The Certificate of Authenticity is an official document issued by Herrington Teddy Bears that verifies the origin, details, and limited-edition status of your bear. It serves as a permanent record of your collectible and enhances both its meaning and its value.

 

Each certificate may include:

  • Name and type of the teddy bear
  • Edition number (if applicable)
  • Total production quantity
  • Year of production
  • Original production details and background
  • Registered owner’s name

Why It Matters

In today’s world of mass production, true collectibles are defined by their authenticity and traceability.

 

Our Certificate of Authenticity:

  • Validates your bear as a genuine Herrington creation
  • Confirms its limited-edition status
  • Adds long-term collectible and resale value
  • Provides a documented history of the piece

It transforms your teddy bear from a beautiful item into a verified collectible asset.

How the Program Works

 

To ensure the integrity of every certificate, each bear must be individually verified.

  1. Register Your Bear Online
    Submit your request through our registration process.
  2. Provide Verification Photos
    Upload clear images of:
    • The teddy bear
    • The ear tag (front and back)
    • The sewn-in label (“tush tag”)

  4. Authentication Review
    Our team carefully reviews each submission to confirm authenticity and edition details.
  5. Certificate Issued
    Once verified, you will receive a beautifully prepared, personalized Certificate of Authenticity registered in your name.

Built on Craftsmanship and Detail

Every Herrington Teddy Bear includes identifying features such as:

  • Signature ear tags
  • Sewn-in tush tags
  • Edition markings (when applicable)

These elements are critical in confirming authenticity and preserving the integrity of each collection.

A Lasting Addition to Your Collection

 

Whether your bear was purchased or received as a gift, the Certificate of Authenticity becomes an essential part of its story.

 

It answers the key questions collectors care about:

  • When was it made?
  • How many were produced?
  • Where does this piece fit in the edition?

Most importantly, it provides confidence, credibility, and pride of ownership.

Our Commitment

 

We are proud to offer a program that reflects the same level of care, craftsmanship, and integrity that goes into every Herrington Teddy Bear.

 

 

The Certificate of Authenticity is more than documentation—

it is a guarantee of legacy, rarity, and value.
