A new limited edition Sophie la Girafe has been created to commemorate six decades of the popular teething toy.
The new limited edition design was voted for by thousands of fans from around the world, as they helped select the final 60th anniversary creation. The print features the words je t’❤️ Sophie, in pale pink on the front with a heart design and number 60 on the back.
There are only 125,000 of the exclusive Sophie By Me toys, with only 5,000 available in the UK. The toy is suitable for children from birth.
During its 60 year reign, Sophie la Girafe has been trusted by millions of parent to soothe gums. Made from 100% natural rubber derived from the sap of the Hevea tree, the flexible, natural materials and food grade non-toxic paint mean it is a safe and natural teether.
The new Sophie By Me design has been produced traditionally in France, the same as the original, using the same method developed 60 years ago. The closely guarded process involves 14 manual operations.
Lorraine from 1 two Kids, Sophie’s UK distributor, commented: “Sophie is the world’s bestselling teething toy for very good reason. Honouring this milestone by creating a celebratory design, with the help of her fans around the globe, has been the most wonderful way to celebrate 60 years of the nursery hero. With just 5,000 Sophie By Me’s on sale here in the UK, one thing’s for certain – they won’t be around for long.”
