Born in France in 1961
Sophie la girafe was first made on 25 May 1961 — Saint Sophie's day, which is how she got her name. Created in France by the Delacoste company and produced by Vulli since 1991, she was modelled on a giraffe because a long neck and legs are so easy for little hands to grasp.
Crafted from 100% natural rubber from the Hévéa tree and finished with food-grade paint, Sophie is soft to chew and gentle on sore gums. Six decades later she remains a genuine icon of babyhood — baby's first teething toy since 1961.
