A piece of Switzerland – sustainably manufactured

Since 1938, Trauffer Switzerland has been producing handmade wooden toys and souvenirs in the beautiful Bernese Oberland region. Around 24 steps – from milling and sanding to careful painting – are involved in making each piece unique. This also applies to the famous red-spotted wooden cow, which has long since become a Swiss cult symbol.

The result: 100% Swiss. 100% sustainable. 100% happiness.
