Details

Brand label from O'Lis for e.g. the plush dolls Bommel, Tom Poes and Panda. On December 17, 1938, the METROPOLIS Company was founded in Saint Etienne, at 13 rue Jean Allemane, and in 1942 the O'LIS brand was created. This company closed its doors in 1972. O'LIS produced numerous stuffed animals, as well as characters or "characters" from advertisements, cartoons and comics, such as the Disney characters she was licensed to operate for. These animals and these velvet or plush figures are very special, with, depending on the case, their clothing in felt or colored fabric, their paws which, like the hands, sometimes have fingers, as well as their ribbed eyes (or "Googly ") in opaque glass sulphide (white background, brown or blue pupil, black iris), very characteristic of the O'LIS brand. The eyes were also either painted (Pinocchio, Peter-Pan, Bambina, Jiminy Cricket), or in sewn velvet or felt (Alfred the penguin, Donald, the rabbit from Alice in Wonderland), or in glued plastic (Tom Poes, Panda, Minnie, Pluto). O'LIS also used classic glass eyes (Arthur) and those with white “corners” (Bambi).
