"Once upon a time … a little giraffe was born in Paris … on the 25th of May, in the year 1961. Saint Sophe's Day!
Mr. Rampeau, who an expert in transforming sap from the Hevea tree using the Rotational moulding concept … came up with the idea of designing … a giraffe!
Sophie is made of 100% natural rubber from the sap of the Hevea tree.
As Baby's first toy, stimulating each of their senses, she was an immediate success …
Sight: Her attention-catching spots provide visual stimulation.
Touch: As soft as their mother's skin.
Taste: Perfect for soothing baby's sore gums.
Hearing: her squeaker keeps baby amused and stimulates their hearing.
Easy to Grip: her size is perfect for for baby's small hands
A few years later … Sophie left Paris … for Rumilly … in Haute Savoie … where she is still produced. Traditionally made with a process that involves 14 manual operations.
For decades, babies the world over have been raving about Sophie the Giraffe.
