Sophie the Giraffe by Vulli

The Little Sophie Giraffe by Vulli Toys was born on the 25th of May in the year 1961… St Sophie’s day! In those days, the only animal toys available were farm animals or pet figures.
That is why one day in France, Monsieur Rampeau, who was an expert in making rubber toys, 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 hands to grasp.
Sophie the Giraffe, who looked exactly the same then as she does today, went into production on a Thursday, May 25th, whence her name.
She was an immediate success. Young mothers immediately saw that Sophie was a must for their children when the first signs of teething appeared. Sophie the Giraffe helps baby stop crying!
By simple word of mouth, the little Giraffe’s fame spread and nearly everybody in France can say they used to have a Sophie Giraffe.

Don't wait any longer and get your own!
