Sophie la girafe little things

Il était une fois…the simple story of a girafe born in 1961..

In those days, the only animal toys available were farm animals and pet figures … That is why 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 than she does today, went into production on a Thursday, May 25th 1961,Saint Sophie’s day, hence her name. She was an immediate success.
