Sophie the Giraffe is a high quality baby teether toy created in 1961 in France, and is now manufactured by Vulli SA in Rumilly. Sophie is made from 100% natural rubber and painted with food-quality paints.

History
Sophie the Giraffe was conceived by a French man, Mr Rampeau in 1961. He was an expert in transforming sap from the Hevea tree using the rotational moulding of rubber as a toy-making concept. He came up with the idea of designing a toy giraffe, sensing that such an exotic wildlife figure would be the first in the market, and its size and shape would be ideal for the baby's hands to grasp and fit the baby's small mouth.

The design was completed on the 25th of May 1961, which was Saint Sophie's Day in France. Hence, Mr Rampeau named her Sophie.
