One day in France, 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 as she does today, went into production on Thursday May the 25th.
To this day, Sophie la Girafe® is still "traditionally" produced, a process that involves more than 14 manual operations.
She is made from 100% natural rubber derived from the latex of the Hevea tree.

Our unique collection of wooden toys are imported from Europe. They are handmade and use ethically and sustainable sourced materials. All paints and finishes used are water based, food grade finishes so they are safe for little hands and mouths to explore.
