This beautiful gift set features two of the range’s best loved products, an Original Sophie la girafe and a So Pure Sophie la girafe teething ring. Sophie the girafe was born on 25th May in year 1961 on Saint Sophie's day. She was an immediate success. Sophie quickly became a “must have” in baby’s essentials. Designed to stimulate the senses and soothe teething gums, parents recognised right away the benefits of this little giraffe for their child. By simple word of mouth, the little giraffe's fame spread. Vulli, a company based in Rumilly in the Haute-Savoie region of France has continued to keep the jealously guarded secret of how this wonder toy is made. Sophie la girafe is still "traditionally" produced to this day, a process that involves more than 14 manual operations.
