Saint Sophie’s Day, 1961…a certain Monsieur Rampeau, who was an expert in transforming the latex from the HEVEA tree using the rotational moulding of rubber as a toy-making concept, came up with the idea of designing a giraffe. Such an exotic wildlife figure would be a first on the market, and its size and shape would be ideal for a baby’s small hand to grasp. Sophie La Girafe® , who looked exactly the same then as she does today, went into production.
Since 1961, the iconic Sophie La Girafe® teething toy has been every new parent’s best friend. Made from natural rubber, this lovable design is gentle on gums and easy for little hands to hold. As a character, Sophie La Girafe ® is a friend to all the family and instantly recognisable to little people and their parents.
