It is that time of year again when Harrods present their annual Harrods Christmas Bear and for 2021 he is named Angus.
Angus will be the 36th Harrods Christmas bear. As he name suggests Angus is a Scottish bear and taking influence from Scottish heritage, he wears a cosy sweater and hat featuring Argyle patterning. The jumper sports a bear wearing a Harrods bow. Angus is priced at £30.
This year Harrods have introduced a large 180cm standing version of Angus priced at £1,950. So there maybe a few less in stockings than the traditional Harrods Christmas bear.

A Brief History of Harrods
Established in 1834 by Charles Henry Harrod, Harrods in Knightsbridge, London, commenced as a small grocery shop. Through astute management and keen business acumen, it burgeoned into a symbol of opulence and elegance. The late 19th century saw the store engulfed in flames, a pivotal moment leading to its grand reconstruction, resulting in the opulent facade that graces Knightsbridge today. Harrods’ reputation for excellence and luxury burgeoned, attracting an affluent clientele from around the world.
Despite facing adversities such as the destruction wrought by World War II bombings and shifts in ownership, Harrods endured, consistently adapting to the evolving retail landscape while maintaining its commitment to quality and luxury. The store’s diverse offerings expanded over the years, encompassing haute couture, fine jewelry, gourmet foods, and luxury goods of every variety.
