Product Information
The Puppet Company Gloria ECO Sockettes
Gloria is one of the most popular Sockette puppets, and it's easy to see why — her rainbow-striped body, bright pink glasses, friendly embroidered face and vibrant purple hair make her stand out from the crowd. Sockettes are larger-than-life characters with their own personalities, full of mischief, with friendly faces and big mouths that make them brilliant for puppet play and storytelling — and Gloria has a built-in squeaker in the tongue for extra interactive fun. She can be used alone or alongside other Sockette friends for even more playful adventures.
The Sockette collection was originally dreamt up by The Puppet Company's co-founder and has grown from strength to strength, with new designs still being added. This Gloria puppet is crafted from 74% recycled materials, part of The Puppet Company's ECO commitment to more sustainable play — while still being just as soft, characterful and fun to use as the original range. Easy for children and adults alike, she's loved by all ages and makes a genuinely unique gift.

This is so the nature of the fault can be ascertained before we can arrange for a replacement.
